US President Joe Biden said in Warsaw on Saturday that article 5 of the NATO treaty, which stipulates that an attack against one Ally is an attack against all Allies, was a sacred commitment for the US. Biden made the statement during a meeting he had with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda, whose country is worried about Russia’s aggressiveness. Previously, Joe Biden, accompanied by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had a brief meeting with the Ukrainian foreign and defense ministers, Dmitro Kuleba and Oleksii Reznikov respectively. After the talks, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister said that Ukraine got new security assurances from the US. Before heading for Poland, President Biden attended in Brussels the G7, European Council and NATO summits. In another move, the US says the Russian army has now set as a priority the Donbas area in the pro-separatist east of the country, in a possible attempt to increase its bargaining power in the negotiations with Kiev and encircle the Ukrainian troops on the Eastern Front.
