The American leader used the term “genocide” for the first time when talking about the war in Ukraine. In the past, he called the actions of the Russian army “war crimes.”
U.S. President Joe Biden, in a speech in Iowa on Tuesday, April 12, called Russian leader Vladimir Putin a dictator, and the war he waged in Ukraine for the first time was genocide. This was reported by the CBS channel.
Hence, the statement of the American president was made when he expressed regret over the increase in gas prices.
“Your family’s budget, your ability to refill your tank – none of this should depend on whether the dictator has declared war and committed genocide on the other side of the world,” Biden said.
At the same time, he said that in order to overcome “Putin’s rise in fuel prices,” Washington decided to produce a million barrels of oil per day from a strategic oil reserve.
Later, before flying to Washington, the White House leader commented on his words.
“I call it genocide because it becomes clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to destroy the very idea of being Ukrainian. And the evidence is growing. We will let lawyers at the international level determine if it can be appropriately qualified or not. no., but for me it is so “, – he said.
It should be noted that earlier, even after the publication of the facts of the “Buchan massacre”, Biden called the atrocities of the Russian army in Ukraine war crimes, and Putin – an executioner, dictator and war criminal.
As reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the objectives of the so -called “special operation” in Ukraine “noble”. At the same time, he continued to insist that “the Russian Federation has no choice.”
