US President Joe Biden Wednesday called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin "a war criminal", as Russia`s invasion of Ukraine continues with devastating consequences for civilians. "I think he (Putin) is a war criminal," Biden told reporters at a White House event. He was responding to a question if Putin is a war criminal. In response to another question, he ruled out calling Putin. "No," he said. Soon thereafter White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the president`s words speak for themselves.
"I think the President`s remarks speak for themselves. He was speaking from his heart and speaking from what we`ve seen on television, which are barbaric actions by a brutal dictator through his invasion of a foreign country," she said. Earlier in the day, Biden announced another USD800 million security assistance to Ukraine taking the total to USD1 billion in less than a week.
