They\u2019ve lost 15 years of the gains they\u2019ve made in terms of their economy,\u201d Biden said of Russia. \u201cThey\u2019re going to have trouble maintaining oil production because they don\u2019t have the technology to do it. They need American technology. They\u2019re also in a similar satiation in terms of their weapons systems and some of their military systems. So they\u2019re paying a very, very heavy price for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how it\u2019s going to end but it will not end, but it will not end with a Russian defeat of Ukraine in Ukraine,\u201d Biden added.<\/p>\n<p>The president has also said Americans should expect to pay high gas prices until Russia is defeated.<\/p>\n<p>In June, a reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-on-how-long-its-fair-to-expect-americans-to-pay-historic-gas-prices-as-long-as-it-takes-to-beat-putin\">commented<\/a> on the high prices of gas in the U.S. and asked Biden, \u201cHow long is it fair to expect American drivers and drivers around the world to pay that premium for this war?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden responded again by saying that Americans should expect to pay higher prices at the pump until Putin is stopped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as it takes,\u201d Biden responded, \u201cso Russia cannot in fact defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine. This is a critical, critical position for the world. Here we are. Why do we have NATO? I told Putin that in fact, if he were to move, we would move to strengthen NATO. We would move to strengthen NATO across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States government and the World Bank are sending a combined $1.7 billion in assistance to the Ukrainian government in an effort to support health care workers in the war-torn nation.
