WASHINGTON, 28 March 2022, (TON): Joe Biden, the president of the United States, has called Russian leader Vladimir Putin a butcher who cannot remain in power during a visit to Poland, where he met Ukrainian refugees displaced by the fighting in their country.
A White House official said later “Biden’s comments on Saturday marked an escalation of US rhetoric towards Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, but were not a call for regime change in Russia.”
Biden was in Poland on the last leg of a four-day trip to Europe and in addition to meeting refugees and Ukrainian officials, he delivered a fiery speech before Warsaw’s iconic Royal Castle, where he pointedly warned Putin against invading even an inch of a NATO nation’s territory.
Concluding the speech, he said “Ukraine would never be a victory for Russia.”
He added “for God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
The Kremlin dismissed the remarks, saying the US had no authority in the matter.
