President Joe Biden returned to the Royal Castle in Poland this week to mark the one-year anniversary of the war between Russia and Ukraine. In a speech, Biden reiterated a litany of grievances that the Russian leader has frequently offered as justification for the widely condemned war and ignored international demands to pull back from occupied areas in Ukraine.
Biden also used his presence in the Ukrainian capital to taunt Putin for failing in his ambitions to invade and control the country. He said, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
In response, Putin said, “We aren’t fighting the Ukrainian people.” He also claimed that Russia, not Ukraine, was the one fighting for its very existence.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing for a year, and has been widely condemned by the international community. Biden has been vocal in his criticism of Putin and his war of conquest, and has called for an end to the conflict.
The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and for Russia to withdraw from occupied areas in Ukraine. It remains to be seen if Putin will heed these calls and end the conflict, or if it will continue to drag on.
