nypost.com

President Biden made his first comments on the Ukraine-Russia war since authorizing Ukraine to use American rockets inside Russia. Speaking at the G20 conference, he emphasized the need to end conflicts affecting global food security and reiterated U.S. support for Ukraine's sovereignty. Biden's remarks came as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was present. He highlighted the impact of Russia's invasion on food prices and called for collective support for Ukraine. This follows Biden's recent decision to provide long-range missiles to Ukraine amid ongoing Russian airstrikes. During the conference, Biden also addressed the situation in Gaza, stressing Israel's right to defend itself while urging pressure on Hamas for a ceasefire. He has not taken questions from the press during his South American tour, which includes stops in Brazil and Peru.
