Biden Responds To 13-Year-Old Who Had Concerns About Ukraine War

President Joe Biden has responded to a letter from a 13-year-old boy from New Rochelle, New York, containing the teen's concerns about the war in Ukraine.

Jason Wellington wrote to Biden in April, sharing his thoughts on Russia's military offensive against Ukraine.

Biden wrote back to Wellington eight months later, thanking him for sharing his thoughts about the war and urging him to remain curious, creative and fearless, News12 reported.

Wellington said he and his teacher always read The New York Times, and the teacher observed that his student was vocal about current events, according to News12.

Wellington's teacher encouraged him to write letters to share his thoughts about current events. The teen sent dozens of letters to news publications and politicians.

Aside from Wellington, a number of other children have also written letters to the President.

Earlier this month, Biden posted via his Twitter account letters he received from two children in New Jersey.

Aurelie and Rosalie wrote in their letters that they wanted to meet Biden and the President's pets, Willow and Commander.

Biden thanked the sisters for writing to him, wishing both of them a merry Christmas.

"Aurelie and Rosalie, thanks so much for writing in. Willow and Commander are doing great," Biden tweeted. "I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas."

Last week, Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met at the White House against the backdrop of the raging war in Ukraine with no end in sight.

Biden vowed to support Ukraine "as long as it takes," accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of having no intention to stop the "cruel war."

He also told Zelensky that Ukraine "will never stand alone."

Zelensky, on the other hand, thanked Biden for the U.S.' continuous support for Ukrainian forces. But the Ukrainian leader urged his American counterpart to provide more advanced weapons to counter Russian attacks.

Zelensky's visit to the U.S. came as the Biden administration unveiled $1.8 billion worth of new military assistance to his country.

For the first time, the U.S. will provide Ukraine with the Patriot missile system, which would enhance the country's air defense against Russian airstrikes.

Ukraine will also receive $45 billion in emergency assistance from the new U.S. annual defense budget, which Congress recently approved.
