On account of Moscow's continuing invasion of Kiev, US President Joe Biden termed Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal." Biden made the statements during a joint press conference with Polish President Andrej Duda on Friday in Rzeszow, which is close to the Ukraine-Poland border. Biden, who arrived in Poland on Friday, said the "single-most critical thing we can do from the beginning is maintain the democracies together in our opposition and endeavour to minimise the damage that is unfolding at the hands of a man who, very candidly, I believe is a war criminal." "I believe it will also fit the legal criteria of that," he added.
For the first time on March 16, Biden referred to Putin as a "war criminal," prompting Russian retaliation. The State Department said on Wednesday that Russian forces in Ukraine have committed war crimes.
"The US government believes that members of Russia's soldiers committed war crimes in Ukraine based on current intelligence. Our conclusion is based on a thorough examination of publicly accessible and intelligence-gathering data "In a statement, Secretary of State Blinken said.
