United State President Joe Biden Calls Putin War Criminal And Approves New Weapons’ For Kiev

US President Joe Biden has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal. It’s the sharpest condemnation yet of Putin and Russian actions by a US official since the Ukraine assault began. “I think he is a war criminal,” Biden told reporters.

Earlier, he announced $1 billion in new security help and the deployment of longer-range weapons to Ukraine, assuring the ally of America’s “unprecedented” support. The package includes 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems and an unspecified number of drones.

The cash includes $200 million allocated over the weekend and $800 million in new funds from an aid package approved last week by Congress. This takes the cumulative aid sent to Kiev since Biden took office more than a year ago to $2 billion.
