This is said in a statement from U.S. President Joe Biden following Russia's recent missile strikes on Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
“Russia’s missile strikes that today killed dozens of Ukrainian civilians and caused damage and casualties at Kyiv’s largest children’s hospital are a horrific reminder of Russia’s brutality. It is critical that the world continues to stand with Ukraine at this important moment and that we not ignore Russian aggression,” the American leader said.
He said that this week he will be welcoming the President of Ukraine and NATO leaders to the summit in Washington.
