Meeting with Zelensky: Biden guarantees a close partnership
Status: 02.09.2021 12:23 AM
Millions of Military Aid and a Promise of Help: US President Biden made these two pledges to his Ukrainian counterpart Zelensky at a meeting. There was also agreement on the theme of Nord Stream 2.
US President Joe Biden has once again assured Ukraine that it will be able to protect itself from Russian attacks. „The United States remains firmly committed to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression,” Biden said in a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.
„The partnership between our two countries is getting stronger,” Biden said. Support the „Euro-Atlantic” efforts of Ukraine. Zelensky thanked Biden for the new $60 million in US military assistance. „We appreciate this contribution,” the president said, referring to the conflict in eastern Ukraine and the massive tensions with Russia.
Incoming gas transit through Ukraine
Silinsky was also „extremely concerned” about the imminent start-up of the controversial Baltic Sea pipeline Nord Stream 2, which is supposed to bring Russian gas through Ukraine to Germany. Biden and Silinsky are united in their rejection of the project. The US president sees Germany and Europe with the pipeline becoming increasingly dependent on Russia and hurting the gas transit country Ukraine.
In a joint statement following the White House meeting, the United States and Ukraine reiterated their continued opposition to the pipeline. It said it was „a threat to Europe’s energy security”. The United States has pledged to work to ensure that Ukraine remains a transit country for Russian gas.
However, Biden has stated that he cannot prevent the pipeline from being completed and does not want to burden the relationship with Germany with sanctions. He waived sanctions against the operator, Nord Stream 2 AG, and its German managing directors. In June, Washington and Berlin resolved their dispute over Nord Stream 2 and agreed that gas transit through Ukraine should be contractually secured in the long term.
Joining NATO is not an option
The Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andrei Melnik, demanded in the newspaper „Die Welt”, Wednesday, Ukraine’s rapid entry into NATO in exchange for the completion of the pipeline. „Ukraine does not need any guarantees, but concrete and binding security guarantees from the United States and Germany, ideally within the framework of fast-track membership in NATO.”
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States does not decide who will join NATO. However, they supported the aspirants’ efforts to meet NATO standards. Biden himself does not see a fast way for Ukraine to join the Western military alliance. The United States and Western European countries do not want to provoke Russia.
For more than seven years, Ukrainian government forces have been fighting against Moscow-backed separatists in the eastern regions of the country. According to United Nations estimates, more than 13,000 people have been killed since then.

Breakdown on Russian state television: Putin's war plans exposed
He presses
Putin likes to portray his war in Ukraine as self-defense. Now a guest in a television debate reveals the actual goals.
MOSCOW – A propaganda broadcast in Russia was briefly interrupted. Reason: A guest could have revealed Russian President Vladimir Putin's actual war aims. Political scientist and propagandist Alexander Cetin declared that the Ukraine War was not actually about Ukraine.
The director of the propaganda program interrupts, and the guest reveals Putin's war line live on television
The scenes were captured from Russian state television on X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Julia Davis. Davis' contribution shows a short excerpt from a television program in which several people talk about Russia's so-called „special military operation” in Ukraine. Then there is a scandal. Setin explained that the war is not related to Ukraine itself at all, but rather that Russia is on a path of expansion – which goes beyond Ukraine.
“NATO countries and European countries want to stop this expansionist path one way or another,” Cetin continues. But they have no concept at all. As he spoke, the studio was initially silent. But then, the show's host, Andrei Norkin, seems to remember his mission again and interrupts Sekin.
“You can't do that,” the political scientist interrupts. “It is not an expansion, but a defense of national interests and thus a defense of our security.” But the supervisor's intervention does not seem sufficient. He looks at the camera and says we should really take a break now.
Putin's plan for a new Soviet Union was accidentally broadcast on television
Russia's official explanation for waging a brutal war against Ukraine is that it wants to defend itself against the expansion of Western powers. Russia's most prominent example of this is NATO's eastward expansion, which Putin says poses a threat to Russia. In doing so, he portrays war as a form of self-defense.
But he is actually interested in expanding Russia and reviving the former Soviet Union, whose collapse Putin described as the greatest disaster of the twentieth century. American historian Mary Sarraut also confirmed the attraction to old Soviet Russia Frankfurter Rundschau. “Putin is obsessed with history,” Sarot said. “As I studied the sources, I noticed this obsession and this pattern of using violence on historical anniversaries. I found the war in Ukraine ‘because Putin wanted it that way.’” (prohibit)

The United States strongly warns Israel against attacking Rafah
The United States is increasing its pressure on Israel to refrain from launching a ground attack in Rafah. There is a better strategy. But the United States bears witness to Israel's success: the third man in Hamas is dead.
In the Gaza war, the United States wants to dissuade Israel from the planned ground attack against the city of Rafah, which is crowded with refugees. US President Joe Biden asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call to send a team of representatives from the military, intelligence services and humanitarian aid specialists to Washington in the next few days, Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said. There are other ways to fight Islamic Hamas other than invading Rafah.
According to Sullivan, Netanyahu agreed to send the delegation on a phone call with Biden on Monday, their first conversation in more than four weeks.
At the same time, Sullivan acknowledged Israel's successes. Sullivan said the army killed Hamas's third man in Gaza, Marwan Issa, after days of speculation. Israel said it tracked down Issa, but did not initially confirm his death.
New negotiations on ceasefire and hostages
Meanwhile, new negotiations began in Qatar regarding a ceasefire in the Gaza war and the release of more hostages. Israeli television reported that the head of the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad, David Barnea, met with mediators in the emirate. The talks are supposed to continue for at least two weeks.
Hamas recently submitted a new proposal to mediators Qatar, Egypt and the United States. In which Hamas no longer demands that Israel end the war before exchanging the first hostages for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
According to the proposal, the extremist Islamic organization would make more than just the temporary cessation of hostages by Israel a prerequisite for the second phase of the hostage release. However, according to the media, Israel is pessimistic and continues to make unrealistic demands from the terrorist organization.
USA: A ground attack in Rafah would be a mistake
The US government has long criticized the Israeli leadership's plans to launch a ground attack in Rafah. “We believe that Hamas should not have a safe haven in Rafah or anywhere else, but a major ground operation there would be a mistake,” Sullivan said. A meeting with the Israeli delegation is scheduled to be held in Washington at the end of this week or early next year. Target week.
More than a million people have taken refuge in Rafah, and Israel has not presented the United States or the world with a plan to bring these people to safety and care. „We expect that they will not move forward with the major military operation in Rafah until we have this conversation,” Sullivan said.
He explained that in their phone conversation, Biden once again urged Netanyahu to refrain from the Rafah operation. In upcoming deliberations, US officials will present an “alternative approach” that would “target key Hamas elements in Rafah and secure the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip” without launching a full-scale invasion using ground forces.
The European Union wants to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers for the first time
Meanwhile, the European Union wants to impose sanctions on extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank for the first time. The foreign ministers of member states agreed on the corresponding plans at their meeting in Brussels, as announced by European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. It will now be formalized in the coming days.
According to information from the German News Agency, Hungary announced that it no longer wished to obstruct this step. The background to the sanctions plans is the violence carried out by extremist settlers against Palestinians – especially after the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7. These attacks, like the construction of the settlements themselves, are seen as one of the obstacles to efforts to find a long-term peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East.
