Former US President Joe Biden criticized Trump's pressure policy on Ukraine. According to him, the tactic of "modern-day appeasement," which involves handing over Ukrainian territories to Russia, will never satisfy Moscow, informs Reuters.
According to Biden, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin sees Ukraine as part of "mother Russia," and "anybody who thinks he's going to stop is just foolish."
"I just don't understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he's going to take significant portions of land that aren't his, that's going to satisfy him," he said.
He also expressed concern that "Europe is going to lose confidence in the certainty of America and the leadership of America."
Europe's leaders were "wondering, well, what do I do now?... Can I rely on the United States? Are they going to be there?" said Biden.
Biden's statements about war in Ukraine and Trump
Recently, US President Donald Trump claimed that the war in Ukraine is the fault of former US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Meanwhile, in mid-April, former US President Joe Biden criticized the work of Trump's administration during its first nearly 100 days. According to him, it caused much damage and destruction.
