At a briefing in Rzeszów, Pres. Biden again called Vladimir Putin a 'war criminal,' after the State Department announced this week its formal assessment that Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine.
"The single most important thing that we can do from the outset is to keep the democracies united in our opposition and our effort to curtail the devastation that is occurring at the hands of a man who I quite frankly think is a war criminal," Biden said, flanked by Poland’s President Andrzej Duda and USAID Administrator Samantha Powers."I think it will meet the legal definition of that as well.
"Thank you very, very much for all you do. And it's not hyperbole to suggest you're the finest fighting force, not in the world -- in the world. That's not hyperbole," Biden told the room. Biden also told the room that what they are engaged in is"much more than just whether or not you can alleviate the pain and suffering of the people of Ukraine."President Joe Biden speaks to members of the 82nd Airborne Division at the G2A Arena, March 25, 2022, in Jasionka, Poland.
