United States President Joe Biden has called Donald Trump a "useful lackey" of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

"You want to know why Ukraine is important? Because as you can see, Putin and his useful lackeys have their eyes on bigger prizes," he writes.

Trump's scandalous statement

Earlier, Donald Trump threatened NATO countries to incite Russia to attack them if they did not contribute to the Alliance.

This statement has already caused outrage in the White House and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

After that, the Polish authorities also reacted to Donald Trump's statement that as president he was not going to defend NATO allies from a possible attack for free.

At the same time, EU Council President Charles Michel said that Trump's threats emphasize the need for the EU to urgently develop its strategic autonomy.
