Biden's visit to the Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Jeddah marked the final leg of a four-day trip designed to bolster the US' standing in the region.
The United States and Western allies pressured Russia at G20 talks in Indonesia Friday over its "unprovoked and unjustifiable war of choice" in Ukraine, but Moscow's envoy remained defiant.
The US president told alliance leaders in Madrid that Washington will enhance its "force posture in Europe", with additional air, sea and land resources.
The US president made his comments on the 100th day since Russian forces invaded Ukraine on 24 February, which launched the bloodiest conflict in Europe in decades.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanks US President Joe Biden for signing off on a $40-billion package of aid for the Ukrainian war effort, saying it's a "historic contribution to the protection of freedom in Europe", in a video address to the nation.
