Biden Vows US Backing for Georgia

HeadlineJul 23, 2009

Vice President Joe Biden is in the country of Georgia after visiting the Ukraine. On Wednesday, Biden vowed the Obama administration’s support for Georgia nearly one year after Georgia’s failed US-backed attack on Russian forces in a breakaway region.

Vice President Joe Biden: “The reason I am back and the reason President Obama asked me to come back was to send an unequivocal, clear, simple message to all who will listen and those who even don’t want to listen, that America stands with you at this moment and will continue to stand with you.”

Biden has supported Ukrainian and Georgian membership in NATO, which Russia says violates previous US pledges against NATO expansion.
