The US Has No Right to Talk to Russia About War Crimes

MOSCOW – Kremlin stated that the claims of the President of the United States (US) Joe Biden who mentions the President of Russia Vladimir Putin is a “war criminal” because attacking Ukraine is an unforgivable statement. Moreover, the sentence was uttered by the leader of a country that has killed civilians in conflicts around the world.

In a conversation with a reporter on Wednesday, Biden said, “Oh, I thought he was a war criminal,” after initially responding with a “no” to a question about whether he was prepared to call out Putin that way.

Biden’s remarks immediately sparked a strong reaction from the Kremlin. “Our president is a very wise, broad-minded and cultural international figure, as well as the head of the Russian Federation, our head of state,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about Biden’s remarks. .

“Such statements by Mr Biden are completely unacceptable, unacceptable and inexcusable,” Peskov said. “The main thing is that a head of state who has been bombing people around the world for years, the president of such a country has no right to make such statements,” he continued.

Peskov said the US had bombed Japan in 1945, destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered six days later, ending the Second World War. About 200,000 people were killed instantly by the bombs and many more died of radiation sickness.

Earlier, Russia had warned the US on Thursday that Moscow had the power to put the world’s leading superpower in its place and accused the West of fomenting a wild Russophobic plot to destroy Russia.

Dmitry Medvedev, who served as president from 2008 to 2012 and is now deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said the US had fueled “disgusting” Russophobia in an attempt to force Russia to its knees.
