Ukraine, Biden insists: “Putin is a dictator, he has worried me for 40 years. Our weapons? We will not hit the Kremlin”

Although in an interview with the European media Vladimir Putin reiterated that he does not want an open conflict with NATO, Joe Biden, a few hours later, added fuel to the fire: “I have known him for 40 years and he has worried me for 40 years – he said in an interview with ABC – he is not a decent person, […]

Although in an interview with European media Vladimir Putin reiterated that he does not want an open conflict with NATOJoe Bidena few hours later, added fuel to the fire: “I’ve known him for 40 years and It has worried me for 40 years – he said in an interview with ABC – he’s not a decent person, he’s a dictator and he’s fighting to make sure he keeps his country together while continuing to carry out this assault” onUkraine. Responding to journalists, the US president specified that “our weapons will not be used to strike Moscow or the Kremlin“. American weapons sent to Kiev “are authorized to be used near the border. We are not authorizing strikes 200 miles inside Russia.”

And today, in Normandy for the anniversary of D-Day, Biden has linked the fight against the Nazis to that against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has “been invaded by a tyrant bent on domination.” He then added: “We know the dark forces these heroes fought against 80 years ago. They never disappear, aggression, greed, the desire to dominate, control, forcibly change boundaries. These are perennial, and the struggle between dictatorship and freedom has no end.” In this sense “the Ukrainians are fighting with extraordinary courage, great suffering and losses but they will never retreat. The United States, NATO and a coalition of over 50 countries stand firmly alongside Ukraine, we will not leave it – he said again – because if we do, it will be subjugated, and the matter will not end, Ukraine’s neighbors would be threatened and all of Europe would be threatened. Surrendering to bullies, bowing to dictatorship is unthinkable.” To then conclude: “We must remember that the fact that they were heroes that day does not exempt us from what we must do today. Democracy is never guaranteed. Every generation must preserve it, defend it and fight for it. This is the test of time.”
