How initial US support for aiding Ukraine has come to a standstill 2 years later
Two years ago, President Joe Biden pledged unwavering U.S. support for Ukraine as Russia fired off the first missiles in its brutal invasion. "In the contest between democracy and autocracy, between sovereignty and subjugation, make no mistake: Freedom will prevail," Biden said from the White House as he announced sanctions against Russia, the deployment of additional U.S. troops to Germany and humanitarian relief for Ukraine. Since then, he has said Ukraine would have American backing "as long as it takes."
