The United States and NATO will not walk away from the crisis in Ukraine, US President Joe Biden says in a D-Day speech in Normandy, France.

Biden says Ukraine, which is at war with Russia, was invaded by a “tyrant intent on domination” and that democracy was now more at risk than at any point since World War II.

“Make no mistake, we will not bow down, we cannot surrender to the bullies, it is simply unthinkable. If we do, freedom will be subjugated, all Europe will be threatened ” he says in Colleville-sur-Mer.
