Ukraine Situation Reveals How US Treats Allies: Hezbollah Official
Speaking at a ceremony on Saturday, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine said that when the US sees its interests threatened, it stays away and even abandons support for its allies, Al-Ahed News reported.
Today, Ukraine is facing a war alone while it had hoped that allies would help it, the cleric noted.
He said this is the nature of the US government and those in Lebanon who have pinned their hopes on Washington were given yet another lesson on how untrustworthy the US is.
After Russia attacked Ukraine, US President Joe Biden failed to provide military support for the Eastern European country.
He said in a statement that he and NATO allies discussed “our shared commitment to collective defense and Transatlantic security” when they met virtually Friday afternoon.
Biden claimed that NATO stands for freedom and democracy, stressing Washington’s resolve to defend the US-led military alliance’s territory.
“We were joined today by our close partners Sweden, Finland, and the European Union,” the statement read.
“President Putin has failed in his goal of dividing the West. NATO is as united and resolute as it’s ever been, and NATO will maintain its Open Door to those European states who share our values and who one day may seek to join our Alliance,” he claimed.
