Eden izmed kritičnih trenutkov ob obisku ukrajinskega predsednika Volodimirja Zelenskega prejšnji teden v Washingtonu je bila tiskovna konferenca ameriškega predsednika Josepha Bidena. Natančneje, konec tiskovne konference, ko se je Bidenu zareklo nekaj stavkov. Povedal je, da so ZDA omejene glede pomoči Ukrajini, ker evropske zaveznice niso pripravljene tvegati kontinentalne vojne z Rusijo. Biden:
Now, you say, ‘Why don’t we just give Ukraine everything there is to give?’ Well, for two reasons. One, there’s an entire Alliance that is critical to stay with Ukraine. And the idea that we would give Ukraine material that is fundamentally different than is already going there would have a prospect of breaking up NATO and breaking up the European Union and the rest of the world…
I’ve spent several hundred hours face-to-face with our European allies and the heads of state of those countries, and making the case as to why it was overwhelmingly in their interest that they continue to support Ukraine…
They understand it fully, but they’re not looking to go to war with Russia. They’re not looking for a third World War.
Biden se je nato zavedel, da je povedal preveč: “there’s more to say, but I probably already said too much” in na hitro končal tiskovno konferenco.
