Brussels: Europe and the Arabs - agencies
The US President chose to send his message to Putin and the Russian people from an area close to the border with Ukraine, a year after the Russian aggression against this country.
The United States said President Joe Biden will deliver a message to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, when he speaks in Warsaw on Tuesday, while praising NATO's unprecedented efforts to help Ukraine.

The British newspaper "The Guardian" said that Biden will deliver the speech in Poland - a major ally of the United States - and on the same day Putin is scheduled to deliver his speech in Moscow, three days before the first anniversary of the Russian operation in Ukraine.

Biden is scheduled to arrive in Warsaw on Tuesday and meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda, and on Wednesday he will meet with the leaders of the Bucharest Group of Nine, a group of NATO members in Eastern Europe.

The White House said it would speak by phone next week with the leaders of Britain, France and Italy, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is scheduled to arrive in Washington on March 3.

John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said on Friday that Biden's main public event will be the speech he delivers on Tuesday from the Royal Castle in Warsaw about "how the United States rallied the world to support the people of Ukraine in defending their freedom and democracy." .

He added, "President Biden will make it clear that the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine ... for as long as possible ... and I suspect you will hear him send a message to Putin as well, as well as the Russian people."

  This came after the White House said that US President Joe Biden will use his speech in Poland to send a message that NATO will continue to support Ukraine "as long as it takes."

Kirby indicated that Biden did not plan to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the trip, nor to visit Ukraine, which he has not gone to since the start of the military operation, due to the tight security measures around American presidents.
