SPIDERS EXPECTED TO SWING INTO THE EAST COAST LATER THIS SUMMER. >>> WE START HERE, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BROKE FRIDAY AT ONE OF THE SITES WERE 80 YEARS AGO AMERICAN TROOPS TURNED THE TIDES OF WORLD WAR II AND SECURED VICTORY FOR THE ALLIED FORCES. U.S. ARMY RANGER SCALED THE CLIFFS OVERLOOKING OMAHA BEACH ON D-DAY, THE MISSION, TO TAKE OUT THE NAZI GERMAN SOLDIER STATIONED THERE. THE SITE ONE OF MANY SYMBOLS OF THE RESILIENCE OF U.S. FORCES FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY. IN HIS SPEECH, PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED ON THE WORLD TO HEED THE LESSONS OF THAT WAR AND STAND AGAINST HATEFUL IDEOLOGIES, JUST AS THOSE SOLDIERS DID. >> AS WE GATHER HERE TODAY, NOT JUST TO HONOR THOSE WHO SHOWED SUCH REMARKABLE BRAVERY ON THAT DATE, JUNE 6, 1944. LISTEN TO THE ECHOES OF THEIR VOICES, TO HEAR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SUMMONING US, SUMMONING US NOW, THEY'RE NOT ASKING US TO DO THEIR JOB, THEY ARE ASKING US TO DO OUR JOB, PROTECT FREEDOM IN OUR TIME, DEFEND DEMOCRACY, STAND UP TO OPPRESSION ABROAD AND AT HOME. BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURSELVES. >> CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT ELAINE COBB JOINS ME FROM PARIS TO THE BIDEN COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND WORLD WAR II SEEMED ESPECIALLY INTERESTING, GIVEN THAT RUSSIA WAS ONE OF THE ALLIED FORCES 80 YEARS AGO. TALK TO THE VIEWERS ABOUT WHY BIDEN WAS CALLING OUT PUTIN AND WHY THAT WAS SO SIGNIFICANT. >> Reporter: THE PARALLELS HAVE BEEN DRAWN THROUGHOUT WHAT BIDEN HAS BEEN SAYING HERE AND THE PRESIDENT, LIKE MANY OTHERS, LOOKING AT HOW THE TIME IN 1944, WHEN EUROPE WAS AT WAR, WHEN FRANCE WAS UNDER NAZI OCCUPATION AT THE TIME, NOW WHEN UKRAINE , IN EASTERN EUROPE, AT WAR WITH RUSSIA, ANOTHER BIGGER NEIGHBOR. THE PARALLELS CAN'T BE IGNORED, CERTAINLY WHEN HE SAID TO THAT END, TALK ABOUT U.S. ARMY RANGERS, WHO SCALED THOSE 100 FOOT CLIFFS, IS THERE ANY DOUBT THEY WOULD NOT CALL ON ALL OF US TO STAND UP AGAINST PUTIN'S AGGRESSION? IT IS INTERESTING THAT HE NAMED IT, SET IT SO CLEARLY BECAUSE FREQUENTLY IN THE PAST, HE HAS REFERRED IN MORE OBLIQUE TERMS. BUT THIS WAS A VERY CLEAR CALL OUT ABOUT PRESIDENT PUTIN, WHO WAS NOT INVITED TO THE NORMANDY CEREMONIES, LET'S NOT FORGET THE FRENCH ORGANIZERS SAID, HE CANNOT BE INVITED WITH WHAT HE HAS DONE IN UKRAINE. IN THE END, NO ONE FROM RUSSIA WAS THERE. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS MEETING WITH UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT ZELENSKY, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THEY DISCUSSED? >> Reporter: PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY ASKED PRESIDENT BIDEN TO ENSURE THAT THE U.S. CONTINUES TO HELP UKRAINE. HE SAID, PLEASE CONTINUE TO SAVE US, JUST AS YOU HELPED TO SAVE EUROPE BACK IN WORLD WAR II. ALSO ON THE VISIT, THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED A NEW AID PACKAGE FOR UKRAINE WORTH $225 MILLION, THAT WILL INCLUDE AIRCRAFT, MUNITIONS, AND OTHER SECURITY EQUIPMENT TO HELP UKRAINE IN ITS CONTINUED FIGHT AGAINST RUSSIA. ZELENSKY IS ALSO TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT MACRON AND ASKED FOR FRENCH HELP AND EUROPEAN HELP AS HE CONTINUES TO TRY TO HOLD BACK THE RUSSIAN INVASION THERE. >> DIVIDED NEXT MAJOR INTERNATIONAL APPEARANCE AT THE G7 SUMMIT NEXT WEEKEND. THE CROWN PRINCE OF SAUDI ARABIA WILL JOIN THEM WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS ATTENDANCE? >> Reporter: IT IS INTERESTING ITALY DECIDED TO OPEN UP THE ATTENDANCE TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT USUALLY CONSIDERED THE BIGGEST ALLIES. ROME SAID, WE ARE ABOUT THE GROUP OF SEVEN AND LIKE-MINDED NATIONS, WE ARE NOT CLOSED OFF LIKE A FORTRESS, WE WANT TO OPEN UP TO THE WORLD. IT SEEMS THERE IS DEFINITE DESIRE TO GET SOME OTHER VIEWS, TURKIYE PRESIDENT ERDOGAN IS COMING, IT WILL OPEN INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS. MOHAMMED SOLOMON HAS REFUSED TO GO TO THE UKRAINE CONFERENCE, UKRAINE BEING ON THE AGENDA FOR THE G7, THAT MAY COME UP WITH WHO IS GIVING WHAT KIND OF AID THERE CAN BE. LET'S NOT FORGET THE OTHER NATIONS INVITED ALONG ARE THERE TO ATTEND TO MEET OTHER LEADERS, TO TAKE PART IN CONVERSATIONS. ULTIMATELY, THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE AT THE MEETING IN ITALY WILL BE BY THE G7 NATIONS TH
