Kyiv has hardened its stance in recent months with a decree declaring it "impossible" to negotiate with Russia for as long as President Vladimir Putin remains in power.
By treating Israel’s colonisation of the West Bank in Palestine as a defensive struggle, Ukraine is validating another power’s aggression and thus compromising its own fully justified struggle for freedom from Russia's invasion.
In rallying global arms supplies and asking Congress for $33 billion more to support Ukraine, Washington is choosing to ignore Vladimir Putin's threats to use nuclear arms, and instead is openly testing the Russian leader's limits.
President Joe Biden called his Ukrainian counterpart Volodomyr Zelensky Wednesday to update him on "ongoing US support" for Kyiv, the White House said.
