Russia is waging a “genocide”, wants to erase Ukraine, claims Joe Biden

Biden has previously said he does not believe Russia’s actions amount to genocide, only that they have committed “war crimes.”

US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that Russia’s war in Ukraine was “equal to genocide.” He further added that President Vladimir Putin had tried to “erase the very idea of ​​Ukraine”.

Speaking in Iowa before returning to Washington, Biden said that when he said at an earlier event that Putin was carrying out genocide against Ukraine, he meant what he meant.

“Yes, I call it genocide,” he told reporters. “It is becoming increasingly clear that Putin is trying to overthrow Ukraine.” Biden added that it was up to lawyers to decide whether Russia’s conduct was in line with international standards for genocide, but said it was “certain”.
