The former US president, Joe Biden, condemned Donald Trump’s policy in Ukraine, accusing his successor of “appeasement” with Russia, in an interview with the transmission of the BBC this Wednesday, May.
The pressures of the Ukraine Government on Ukraine, exercised so that kyiv renounces Russia to Russia in the context of a peace agreement, constitutes a “appeasement of modern times,” he said, a reference to the conciliatory attitude of certain European powers against Nazi Germany in the late 1930 Blanca already spoke in public since then.
“I fear that Europe will not lose confidence in the certainty and leadership of the United States and the world, not only with respect to NATO but also in other issues that have consequences,” he added.
Zelensky’s welcome “is not worthy of the United States”
During this interview, Joe Biden also attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, according to him, believes that Ukraine “is part of the Russian mother.” “Talk about Eastern Europe … What this man wants to do is (r) to establish the Warsaw Pact,” he said.
“It does not support (…) that the Soviet Union has collapsed, and whoever thinks it will stop is simply stupid,” added the Democrat, asking “to do everything possible to avoid war” but “not yield to the tyrants.”
When asked about the media granted to Ukraine by his own administration, at the head of the United States during the invasion launched by Russia in February 2022, Joe Biden said he had provided kyiv all that the country “needed to guarantee its independence.”
Joe Biden also criticized the way in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was treated by the Republican administration during his visit to Washington at the end of February, when an altercation had exploded against the cameras in the Oval office. “I discovered that I was not so worthy of the United States, as happened,” said Joe Biden.
The Democrat, who had decided in the spring of 2023 to imagine against Donald Trump, withdrew from the race in July 2024 after a disastrous debate, giving way to vice president Kamala Harris, who was clearly defeated by the Republican billionaire in November.
