Biden v. Putin: Dueling Speeches by World Leaders

Russian President Vladimir Putin has just escalated his war on Ukraine, breaking a nuclear agreement with the United States in the process. While President Joe Biden traveled to Poland after his surprise visit to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky, Putin delivered a speech full of chilling warnings to the West, including that Russia would be pulling out of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, also known as New START.

As reported on Fox News:

"Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a stark warning Tuesday that he would be suspending his nation’s participation in a nuclear arms treaty, threatening to resume testing of nuclear weapons.

Putin made his speech almost exactly a year after the invasion of Ukraine began, accusing the 'elites of the West' of escalating international tensions.

'The elites of the West do not hide their purpose. But they also cannot fail to realize that it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield,' Putin said.

The Russian president went on to announce he would be pulling Russia out of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, a bilateral agreement signed by former Presidents Obama and Dmitry Medvedev."

And now add to this the announcement from China that its President Xi Jinping will be traveling to Moscow to meet with Putin. As we reported yesterday, there are rumors that China is preparing to provide weapons and supplies to Russia in support of its war on Ukraine. It appears that China sees President Biden sending a fortune to Ukraine to bolster its defenses, and now it’s going to do the same for its ally Russia.

Today’s full Sekulow broadcast includes further analysis of Putin’s duplicitous announcement that he is pulling Russia out of the New START nuclear agreement and what the implications could be to our security, as well as how China’s involvement could heavily affect this conflict.
