The Kremlin considered this Thursday “unforgivable” to call Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Joe Biden, a country that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, a “war criminal”.
“Our president is an international leader, wise, insightful, cultured and leader of the Russian Federation. Such statements by Mr. Biden are absolutely inadmissible, unacceptable and inexcusable,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said at a telephone press conference.
Peskov added: “And, most importantly, the head of a state that bombed people all over the world and for many years has no right to make them.”
A country that “dropped an atomic bomb on a country that had already been defeated, so it didn’t make any sense. I mean Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
“The president of that country has no right to (pronounce) those words. It is our absolute conviction,” he said.
Biden called Putin a “war criminal” on Wednesday for his “barbaric” military tactics during the “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“He is a war criminal,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question during an event at the White House.
Shortly after Biden’s remarks, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the president “was speaking from the heart and based on what he had seen on television.”
“And those are barbaric actions of a brutal dictator during his invasion of a foreign country,” Psaki added during his daily briefing.
The spokeswoman clarified that for now the State Department has not made a formal statement accusing Russia of having committed war crimes, and that the “legal” review on that issue “is still ongoing.” (I)
