WATCH LIVE: Biden delivers message in Poland on eve of Russia-Ukraine war anniversary -- ABC Special Report here:
Biden's speech comes hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed Russia's parliament, announcing the country would stop participating in the New START nuclear arms treaty with the U.S., the last remaining major arms control agreement between the two countries.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, reacting to the announcement in Greece, told reporters the decision was "really unfortunate and very irresponsible, but we'll be watching closely."Sullivan stressed earlier that Biden's remarks should not be viewed as a response to Putin. He said that the date and time were selected because of the one-year anniversary of the war, adding the Biden even moved up his normal State of the Union timeframe as the trip was planned.
In Warsaw, Biden met earlier with Polish President Andrzej Duda on Tuesday to discuss cooperation between Washington and Warsaw to aid Kyiv, particularly over Poland's role as a key staging ground for military and financial aid flowing to Ukraine. Duda publicly thanked Biden for visiting Ukraine. There, Biden told Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the U.S. would support Ukraine for "as long as it takes."
