Russia cannot be allowed to redraw the map of Europe, because that’s exactly what they are doing,” Biden said and added: “Ukraine is now fighting for its own survival. Russia continues to escalate the conflict by sending in mercenaries and tanks. We can see the flow of ‘little green men’ and modern soldiers for special operations”
