Ukraine Crisis Not Regional But “A Global Issue”: Joe Biden At Quad Meet

Tokyo: 

The crisis in Ukraine is a global issue, not a regional one, U.S. President Joe Biden said at a meeting of the Quad grouping of countries in Tokyo on Tuesday.

“This is more than just a European issue. It’s a global issue,” Biden said.

Stressing that Washington would stand with its “close domestic partners” to push for a free and open Indo-Pacific region, he said: “Russia’s assault of Ukraine only heightens the importance of those goals of fundamental principles of international order, territorial integrity and sovereignty.”
