THE US President Joe Biden defended his statements that o Russian President Vladimir Putin “can not stay in power”which senior officials of his government rushed to downgrade.
Biden denied on Sunday that he asks regime change in Russia and that his statements signal a change of policy in this direction, as broadcast by Guardian.
Yesterday Monday, he stated that “he does not take anything back”. More specifically, after reiterating that he does not seek regime change in Russia, he stressed that he only expressed the personal “moral outrage” he feels about the “barbarity” of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, as he visited some of the millions of refugees who fled the country due to war’s.
“I was expressing the moral outrage I felt… I had just returned from these families. “But I want to make it clear that neither then nor now I am defining a policy change,” he said.
“I do not apologize for what (I said),” he added.
Biden said Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was “absolutely unacceptable” and that the comments did not undermine diplomatic efforts by the United States and its European allies to pacify and negotiate an end to the bombings in Ukraine.
