The President of the United States, Joe Biden has just taken to his verified Facebook page to reassure the people of Ukraine that the United states is solidly behind the country. President Biden who had earlier stated that the United States was on the side of Ukrainians in the on-going invasion by Russia led by President Vladimir Putin, reiterated the United States support to the Ukrainians. The invasion which began exactly on the 24th of February, 2022 had already displaced and killed many Ukrainians.

President Biden wrote a moment ago; ” My message to the people of Ukraine: We stand with you. Period”.
