The United States and its allies "can't walk away" from Ukraine, outgoing President Joe Biden said on Monday, as he prepares to step down next week and hand power to Donald Trump.
Hailing US and international support for Kyiv since Moscow's 2022 invasion, Biden said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has "failed to achieve any of his strategic objectives" but that "there is more to do, we can't walk away."
