President Joe Biden hit back at Vladimir Putin on Tuesday evening, blasting his claim that U.S. wanted to ‘destroy Russia’ and saying that the war in Ukraine was entirely the Russian president’s doing.
He dismissed Putin as a dictator who was bound to lose as he delivered a speech in Warsaw, Poland, to mark the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.
‘The United States and the nations of Europe do not seek to control or destroy Russia,’ Biden said to cheers in the grounds of Warsaw’s Royal Castle.
