US President Joe Biden delivers remarks ahead of the one year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, outside the Royal Castle, in Warsaw, Poland, on Feb 21, 2023.WARSAW - US President Joe Biden will meet leaders of Nato's eastern flank on Wednesday to show support for their security after Moscow suspended a landmark nuclear arms control treaty.
During the period of highest tension between Russia and the West in the decades since the Cold War, Biden addressed thousands in downtown Warsaw on Tuesday and said "autocrats" like Russian President Vladimir Putin must be opposed. On Wednesday, Biden will meet staff from the US embassy in Warsaw before gathering leaders of the Bucharest Nine, the countries on Nato's eastern flank who joined the Western military alliance after being dominated by Moscow during the Cold War. Most are among the strongest supporters of military aid to Ukraine, and officials from countries in the group have called for additional resources such as air defence systems.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda's message to Biden will be that it wants "greater involvement of the US in Europe, Nato's eastern flank and, of course, more aid to Ukraine," his chief foreign policy adviser told Lithuanian radio on Tuesday.
