Biden Vows Support for Ukraine After ‘Horrific’ Russian Drone Attack

The Epoch Times Header

‘On this day, my message to the Ukrainian people is clear: the United States stands with you,’ President Joe Biden said.

President Joe Biden reaffirmed U.S. support for Ukraine following Russia’s massive drone attack against the country, which left more than a million Ukrainian households without electricity.

Russia launched 188 drones in the Nov. 27 attack that targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with 76 of them being intercepted by Ukraine’s air defenses, according to Ukraine’s air force.

In a Nov. 28 statement, Biden criticized Russia for what he described as a “horrific” aerial attack.

The outgoing president said it highlighted the urgency and importance of supporting the Ukrainian people against Russian aggression.

“On this day, my message to the Ukrainian people is clear: the United States stands with you,” he stated. “The United States stands with more than 50 countries in support of Ukraine and its fight for freedom.”

Biden said that the United States has been working for months to help Ukraine strengthen “the resilience of its energy grid” ahead of the winter season while the Pentagon “continues to surge other critical capabilities to Ukraine, including artillery, rockets, and armored vehicles.”

“Earlier this year, and at my direction, the United States began prioritizing air defense exports so they go to Ukraine first,” the president stated.

Referring to Russia’s new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile system, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Nov. 28, “Of course, we will respond to the ongoing strikes on Russian territory with long-range Western-made missiles, as has already been said, including by possibly continuing to test the Oreshnik in combat conditions, as was done on Nov. 21.”

Putin said that Russia’s Ministry of Defence and general staff were already selecting targets to hit on Ukrainian territory, which could include “military facilities, defense and industrial enterprises, or decision-making centers in Kyiv.”

Kyiv is heavily protected by air defenses, but Putin said the Oreshnik missile travels too fast to be intercepted. Russia first deployed the Oreshnik missile on Nov. 21, just days after Biden seemingly authorized Ukraine to fire U.S.-made army tactical missile systems (ATACMS) into Russian territory.
