Biden made this known while addressing the Ukrainian and the World at large at Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland on Saturday.

Building on earlier remarks in which he called Putin a ‘butcher’ and ‘dictator’, the US President evoked memories of the siege of Leningrad and made an impassioned defence of democracy.

‘Brutality will never grind down their will to be free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, for free people refused to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness.

Read his full speech below:

Its a great honour to be here. Mr. President, they tell me you’re over there somewhere. There you are. Thank you, Mr. President.Be nice.

There’s the first words that the first public address of the first Polish Pope after his election on October 1978 There were the waters would come to define Pope John Paul the second words that we change to the world. John Paul got the message in Warsaw and his first trip back home as Pope in June of 1979. Was a message about the power, power of faith, the power resilience, power of people.

The Face Book crew room system of government it was a message that helped them to sober repression in the central land, and Eastern Europe 30 years ago. It was a message that will overcome the cruelty with tonally with Assad just war on top John Paul wrote that message in 1979, the Soviet Union ruled with an iron fist behind an Iron Curtain. Then a year later, the Solidarity Movement for cold in Poland.

I know he couldn’t be here tonight are grateful in America and around the world for like moments of.Wine read of that phrase of philosopher Kierkegaard. Faith sees best in the dark. There were dark moments. 10 years later, the Soviet Union collapsed and Poland and Central and Eastern Europe would soon be free. Nothing about that battle for freedom was simpler, easy, was a long, painful slog follow we’re not days and months but years and decades. We wrote Zulu and a great battle for freedom.

A battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression between a rules based order and one govern like brute force.

This violence we need to be clear I this battle will not be one in days or months either. We need to save ourselves. long fight ahead. Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Mayor, Members of the parliament, distinguished guests the people of Poland and I suspect some people of Ukraine who are here we are we are gathered here at the Royal Castle in the city the holes a sacred place. And there’s the of not only of Europe, by humankind’s on them in search for freedom. For generations or so I stood where Liberty has been challenged, and liberty is prevail. In fact, it was here in Warsaw.

Whenever young refugees fled her home country from Czechoslovakia was under Soviet domination came back to speak and stand in solidarity with dissidents. Her name was Madeline Coble, Albright she became supporters and Roxanne walls here’s a friend with whom I serve America’s first woman secretary of state. She passed away three days ago. She fought her whole life for central democratic principles.

And now in the friendlier struggle for democracy and freedom. You created as people are in the frontlines, fighting to save their nation and their brave resistance as part of a larger fight. For essential democratic principles that you’re not all free people through law, firm elections, the freedom to speak, to write and to assemble the freedom to worship as one chooses favour the press these trees law is essential in a free society. But they have always they’ve always been under siege they’ve always been in battle. Every generation is said to defeat democracies mortal foes.

That’s the way the world or the world as imperfect as we know. We’re the appetites and ambitions of a few forever seek to dominate the life and liberty of many.

My message to the people of Ukraine is a message delivered today to Ukraine’s foreign minister and defence minister, who I believe are here tonight. We stand with you. ladies, Larry King and microphone carkey are the ladies battle long struggle, hungry 1956 polling 1956 And then again 1981 Triple Slovakia 1968 Soviet tanks crushed democratic uprisings but the resistance continued until finally, in 1989, the Berlin Wall and I the walls of Soviet domination.

They fell. They fell and the people prevailed. The battle for democracy could not conclude and did not conclude with the end of the Cold War. Over the last 30 years the forces of autocracy have revived all across the globe. It’s hallmarks of really wise contempt for the rule of law, contempt for democratic freedom. Contempt for the truth itself. Today, Russia has strangled democracy as sought to do so.

Elsewhere, not only in his homeland, under false claims of ethnic solidarity is invalidated neighbouring nations Putin has the gall to say he’s dead not to find Ukraine. It’s alive. It’s just cynical. He knows that. And it’s also obscene.

Presidents Lewinsky was democratically elected. He’s Jewish his father’s family was wiped out in Nazi Holocaust and as your destiny like all our autocrats before him to believe that might, we’ll make right my own country. On President Abraham Lincoln. Voice the opposing spirit to save our union, the midst of the Civil War. He said let us have faith.

That right. makes nice right makes mine today. The second I think again let us resolve to put the strength of democracies in the action before to deny the designs autocracy. Those remember that the test of this moment is the test of all time. A criminal wants to portray NATO enlargement as an imperial project aimed to destabilise Russia.

Nothing is further from the truth, NATO as a defensive alliance, it has never sought the demise of Russia. In the lead up to the current crisis, the United States and NATO worked for months to engage Russia to avert war. I know them personally talk to him many times in the phone.

Time and again, we offer real diplomacy and concrete proposals to strengthen European security, enhance transparency, build confidence on all sides of Putin and Russia man hater proposals with disinterest in any negotiation with lies and ultimatums fresh was bent on violence from the start. I know not all of you believed in us when we kept saying they are going to cross the border they are going to attack repeatedly. He asserted we had no interest in war guaranteed.

We would not move repeatedly, saying he would not invade Ukraine repeatedly. Saying Russian troops along the border are there for training all 180,000 There’s simply no justification or provocation for Russia’s choice of war. It’s an example one of the oldest human impulses using brute force and disinformation.

To satisfy a craving for absolute power and control is nothing less than a direct challenge. rule based international order, established since the end of World War Two and threatens to return two decades of war that ravaged Europe before the international rule based order was put in place.

We can not go back to that. We cannot the gravity the threat is why the response in the West has been so swift and so powerful, and so unified unprecedent an overwhelming swift and punishing costs are the only thing you’re going to get Russia to change this course. Within days of his evasion.

The western move joined with sanctions to damage Russia’s economy. Russia’s central bank is now blocked from global financial system denying Kremlin’s access to the warfighters stashed around the globe. We’ve aimed at the heart of Russia’s economy by stopping the influx of Russian energy to the United States today, the United States has sanctioned 140 Russian oligarchs and their family members see their he’ll be gotten gains their yachts their luxury apartments, their mansions. We’ve sanctioned more than 400 Russian government officials including key architects of this board, these officials and all the guards have reaped enormous benefit from the corruption connected to the Kremlin. And now they have to share in the pain.

The private sector is acting as well. Over 400 Private multinational companies have pulled out of doing business in Russia. left Russia completing the oil companies and McDonald’s as a result of his unprecedented sanctions, ruble almost as immediately reduced to rubble.

The Russian economy that’s true, by the way, takes about 200 rubles equal $1. Economy is on track to be cut in half in the coming years. It was ranked first in the car and was ranked 11th biggest economy in the world before this invasion invasion.

It will soon not even right among the top 20 in the world. Taking together is economic sanctions, a new kind of economic state statecraft, with the power to inflict damage that rivals military mining. These international sanctions have sapping Russian strength its ability to replace its military and its ability, its ability to project power and is proven is Vladimir Putin, who is to blame period at the same time, alongside his economic sanctions.

The Western world has come together to provide for the people in Ukraine with incredible levels of military economic humanitarian assistance. In the years before the invasion we America at sent over $650 million before they crossed the border and weapons Ukraine including anti air and anti armour equipment since invasion, Americans committed another $1.35 billion of weapons and ammunition and thanks to the courage and bravery of the Ukrainian people.

They couldn’t we sent and our colleagues have said, avenues to devastating effect to defend Ukrainian land and airspace. Our allies and partners have stepped up as well. But as I made clear, America forces are in Europe, not in Europe, to engage in conflict with Russian forces American forces are here to defend NATO allies. Yesterday I met with the troops that are serving alongside our Polish allies to bolster NATO’s frontline defences. The reason I want to make clear is their movement on Ukraine.

Don’t even think about moving on one single edge of NATO territory. We have sacred obligation. Second obligation under Article Five to defend each and every inch of NATO territory before for smart collective power and early today, I visit your national stadium to 1000s Ukrainian refugees and I try to answer the toughest questions a human can ask my god what’s going to happen to me? What’s going to happen in my family? I saw tears and many of the mother’s eyes is embraced them and young children and young children.

Not sure women smile or cry. One old girl said Mr. President, she spoke no language. It my brother and my daddy are they going to be okay? Will I see them again? Without not their husbands and fathers in many cases, the brothers and sisters who stayed back and fight for the country. I didn’t have to speak the language or understand the language to feel the emotion in their eyes.

When the grip my hand little kids on my leg praying to a desperate hope. All this is temporary apprehension that they may be perhaps forever away from their homes. almost debilitating sadness that this is happening all over again.

But it was also struck by the generosity of people Warsaw for that matter, all the Polish people the depths of their compassion, their willingness to reach out opening our hearts saying American prayers open their hearts in their homes simply to help and also want to thank my friend the great American chef Jose Andres, whose team to help feeling though kidney those four yearning to be free.

But helping these refugees is not something Poland or any of the nation should carry alone. All the world democracies have a responsibility to help all of them.

People of Ukraine can count on the United States to meet its responsibility. announced two days ago we will welcome 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. We already have 8000 A week coming to the United States of other nationalities will provide you with $300 million humanitarian assistance, providing 10s of 1000s of tonnes of food, water medicine and other basic supplies.

In Brussels. I announced the United States prepared to provide more than $1 billion additional humanitarian aid the World Food Programme told us despite significant obstacles, at least some relief is getting into major cities in Ukraine, but not metrical.

Now as you may or may not variable because Russian forces are blocking the new supplies will not cease your efforts, get humanitarian relief wherever needed in Ukraine, to the people who’ve made it out of Ukraine.

Notwithstanding the brutality of Vladimir Putin, that there’d be no doubt that this war has already been a strategic failure for Russia already.

Lost sort of myself I know that’s no solace to the people was family but he put thought Ukrainians roll over and not fight much of a student in history.

Instead, Russian forces have met their match with brave and stiff Ukrainian resistance, rather than a breaking Ukrainian resolve Russia’s brutal tactics have strengthened the resolve rather than driving NATO upon the west now stronger, more united than has ever been.

Thus you want to less alumnado presence on his border, but now he has a stronger presence, a larger presence with over 100,000 American troops here along with all the other members of NATO. In fact, Russia has managed to cause something I’m sure he never intended.

The democracies of the world are revitalised with purpose and unity founding once that we’ve once taken years to accomplish this now.

Russia’s actions in Ukraine reminded us of democracy blessing. It’s our own country, his own country. The Kremlin is chilling, protesting 200,000 People allegedly already left is a brain drain leaving Russia shutting down in the Federal News. State media is all propaganda locking the image of civilian targets mass graves starvation taxes on the Russian forces in Ukraine is any wonder as I said a 200,000 Russians have all over the country in one month. A remarkable rain day in such a short period of time.

Which brings me to my message to the Russian people. I’ve worked with Russian leaders for decades. I sat across the negotiating table going over back to silver rear Lexy Cosequin. Talk arms control at the height of the Cold War. I’ve always spoken directly and honestly to you the Russian people. Let me say this if you’re able to listen.

You the Russian people are not our enemy are infused the way that you welcome to killing innocent children, your grandparents, or that you accept hospitals schools maternity wards For God’s sake, being pummelling with Russian missiles and bombs or cities being surrounded so that civilians cannot flee, supplies cut off and attempting to starve Ukrainians into submission.

Millions of families are being driven from our home, including half of all Ukraine’s children. These are not the actions of a great nation. A lot of people use the Russian people as well as all people across Europe still have the memory of being in a similar situation. In the late 30s and 40s. Situation World War Two still fresh in the minds of many grandparents in the region.

Whatever your generation experience, weather experiences sesion Leningrad I heard about it from your parents and grandparents, train stations overflowing and terrified families fleeing their home night shown in basements and cellars morning city through the rubble in their homes.

These are not memories of the past. Not anymore. Because exactly what the Russian army is doing in Ukraine right now. March 26 2022, just days before, we’re at the 23rd You are a 21st century nation with hopes and dreams that people all over the world have done themselves in the family now. Latimer Putin’s aggression cut you the Russian people off from the rest of the world and is taking Russia back to the 19th century.

This is not who you are. This is not the future reserve you deserve for your families and your children. Telling you the truth. This war is not worthy of you the Russian people. Putin can and must end this war. The American people will stand with you and the brave citizens Ukraine who won peace. My message to the rest of Europe.

This new battle for freedom has already made a few things crystal clear. First, Europe was Ennis dependence on Russian fossil fuels. And we the United States will help that’s why just so sit in Brussels I announced the plan of the prison European Commission to get your through the media energy crisis over the long term as a matter of economic security in essence security for the survivability of the planet.

We all need more restrictive as possible clean, renewable energy, and we’ll work together to help get that done. So then the days of any nation being subjected to the whims of the tyrant, for its energy needs are over they must end they must end. And second, we have to fight the corruption card for the problem to give Russian people a fair chance. And finally, most urgently we maintain absolute unity.

We must among the world’s democracies. It’s not enough to speak that rhetorical flourish of ennobling work words and democracy of freedom, equality and liberty. All of us, including here in Poland must do the hard work of democracy each and every day. All my countries. Well, that’s why that’s why New York began this week, with a clear and determined message for NATO, to the g7 for the European Union, for all freedom loving nations.

We must commit now, to be this fight for the long haul. We must remain unified today and tomorrow or the day after, and for the years and decades to come. It will not be easy. There will be costs, but it’s a price we have to pay. Because the darkness drives autocracy is only no match. For the flame of liberty that lights the souls of free people everywhere. Time and again.

History shows that the some of the darkest moments that the greatest progress follows And history shows.

This is the task of our time, the task of this generation. Let’s remember the hammer bow that brought down the Berlin Wall the mic and lifted the Iron Curtain.

Were not the words of a single leader. It was the people of Europe for decades, fought to free themselves, their sheer bravery, open the border between Austria and Hungary for the Pan European picnic.

They join hands for the Baltic Way. They stood for solidarity here in Poland.

And together. It was a non mistake along the marble force of the people that the Soviet Union could not withstand. Now we’re seeing a once again today with a brave new amendment Ukrainian people, showing that they’re little marks will be not afraid……

‘We will have a different future, a brighter future, rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities.

‘For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.’
