The United States will shape the global economy, despite China’s attempts to dominate the world, Biden also noted.

The outgoing US president also credited himself with avoiding war with Russia, despite sending billions of dollars' worth of weapons to Ukraine.

"When Putin launched his invasion, I had two jobs - one is to rally the world to defend Ukraine, the other is to avoid war between two nuclear powers. We did both those things," Biden said in his address on Monday.

Joe Biden said the US and its allies cannot afford to withdraw support for Ukraine and must continue to help Kiev.

"There's more to do. We can't walk away. We rallied 50 nations to stand with Ukraine, not just in Europe, but for the first time in Asia as well. Those countries in Asia know, what happens in Ukraine matters to them as well," he said.

Biden added that he had 'laid the groundwork' for the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump for his team to continue its support for Kiev.

According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Joe Biden has confessed in his final foreign policy speech to a deliberate provocation - that his administration was fuelling the Ukrainian conflict knowing that it was pushing the world towards the abyss.

"Anyone in the West who has slandered Russia, accusing it of some kind of 'nuclear destabilization,' 'rattling nuclear weapons' and so on, must from now on be called a liar and a propagator of fakes. Biden's statement today is an admission of a deliberate provocation. The Biden administration knew that it was pushing the world into the abyss, and yet it fanned the flames of conflict," Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
