Breaking news: While the Russia-Ukraine war continues, the statements of US President Joe Biden are followed with interest all over the world. Biden, who was in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, made important statements and addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin with harsh words. Talking about the impact of the sanctions against Russia and the current situation of the ruble, Biden also touched upon NATO. Here are the details of the last minute development…
Highlights from Biden’s statements:
My message to the people of Ukraine; we are with you.
We see that Russia is trying to crush democracy. Putin’s ambitions will not be limited to Ukraine. Zelensky is a democratically elected person. Putin and his autocrats are in an unacceptable behavior. The strong should not win, the righteous should win. We are going through a test right now, a very important test.
Maybe you didn’t believe us, you didn’t believe us when we said they will cross the border and attack Ukraine. Russia actually preferred war. We’ve seen the wars that plundered Europe, we can’t go back to those days anymore. In the face of the seriousness of the threat here, east and west united and responded promptly in unity. These are the only ways to change Russia’s behavior.
“RUBLE IS NEARLY DISAPPEARED”
Russia’s economy was targeted first. Today, again, hundreds of oligarchs and their families have been sanctioned by the USA. As a result of unprecedented sanctions, the ruble almost disappeared. 200 rubles are needed for 1 dollar at the moment.
The West hurt the Russian economy with sanctions. Very soon the Russian economy will not even be among the 20 largest economies. International sanctions are undermining Russia’s power. Putin is to blame for all this, period.
“DON’T EVEN CONSIDER”
I tell Putin not to even think about entering an inch of NATO territory. It is our sacred duty to protect every inch of NATO territory.
All NATO allies united against Russia.
Putin must end the war. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.
For God’s sake, this man (Putin) cannot and should not stay in power.

On the other hand, Biden visited the Ukrainian refugee camp in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, where he chatted with the women and children who had fled the war a while ago. When asked what Ukrainian refugees think of Putin, Biden described “He’s a butcher”.
Speaking to reporters after his contacts with refugees, Biden said, “The depth and power of the human spirit always surprises me. Each of those kids said something like, ‘Pray for my father, my grandfather, or my brother who was fighting outside. said.
International organizations state that 3.7 million people have left the country since the war in Ukraine started, and 2 million of them took refuge in Poland.
