President Biden is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky following his recent statements regarding the US stance towards Russia. Biden has vowed that US weapons will not be used to target the Kremlin, emphasizing his concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin whom he described as a dictator. Biden expressed his unease about Putin, stating, 'He's concerned me for 40 years. He's not a decent man.'
The President also addressed the issue of providing weapons to Ukraine to defend itself against Russian aggression. He mentioned the possibility of arming Ukraine to strike Moscow, the Kremlin, and insurgents near the border. Biden dismissed the notion of Russia being an unstoppable force, highlighting that their strength lies in conventional weapons rather than just nuclear capabilities.
