Biden assessed Trump's latest statements and decisions
The former head of the White House drew attention to the fact that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has always considered Ukraine to be part of Russia.
Moreover, the illegitimate head of the Kremlin cannot accept the fact that the Soviet Union has collapsed.
And anyone who thinks he's going to stop is just a fool," Biden said, referring to Trump.
The former US president also responded to a new wave of criticism. First of all, Biden is accused of not giving Ukraine enough weapons to defeat Russia, even though he could have done so.
We gave them (Ukraine — ed.) everything they needed to ensure their independence. And we were ready to respond more aggressively if Putin really took a new step.

According to the former American leader, he allegedly did everything possible to prevent a new world war.
What will Putin do if the situation becomes really difficult for him? He will threaten to use tactical nuclear weapons. This is not a game or roulette, he is convinced.
