Biden, however, condemned Russia for ramping up missile attacks within Ukraine, calling recent strikes and their civilian casualties “totally unconscionable.”“We agreed to support Poland’s investigation into the explosion in rural Poland, near the Ukrainian border, and they’re going to make sure we figure out exactly what happened,” Biden said.
“And then we’re going to collectively determine our next step as we investigate and proceed. There was total unanimity among folks at the table.”Article content
