President Joe Biden took a 10-hour train ride from Poland to Kyiv, Ukraine, to visit President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to show support for the embattled country.
February 24 is the first anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
And yet…it took FEMA two weeks to send help to East Palestine, OH, and Biden hasn’t said much about the chemical disaster decimating the town.
From The New York Times:
“One year later, Kyiv stands,” Mr. Biden declared at Mr. Zelensky’s side in Mariinsky Palace, the gilded ceremonial home of the Ukrainian president. “And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands.”“Thank you so much for coming, Mr. President, at a huge moment for Ukraine,” Mr. Zelensky said.Mr. Biden promised to release another $500 million in military aid in coming days, mentioning artillery ammunition, Javelin missiles and Howitzers, but he did not talk about the advanced arms that Ukraine has sought. Mr. Zelensky told reporters that he and the president spoke about “long range weapons and the weapons that may still be supplied to Ukraine even though it wasn’t supplied before.”
But I’m not the only one disgusted by Biden’s lack of attention to Ohio. The thing is, Ukraine has been special to me since 2014. I hope the Ukrainian people know they’re being used as pawns by Russia and the West. It’s infuriating.
