Russian State Duma calls for Biden to be held accountable for conflict in Ukraine
[Regnum] After Joe Biden leaves the presidential race, he must be held accountable for unleashing a military conflict in Ukraine. State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin told reporters on July 21.
"Biden must be held accountable for: the war he unleashed in Ukraine; the destruction of the economies of European countries; the sanctions policy against Russia and other countries. His hands are covered in blood," the speaker noted.
Volodin recalled that Biden created problems all over the world and in his own country, the United States. The head of the White House realized that he would not be elected, so he is running without waiting for the elections, the State Duma Chairman concluded.
As reported by IA Regnum, Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he was withdrawing from the presidential race, but intends to serve until the end of his term. He explained that he did not compete with presidential candidate Donald Trump for victory "in the interests of the party and the country." Biden thanked his team for their work, especially Vice President Kamala Harris. He called on Democrats to support her candidacy in the elections.
Earlier, 56 American diplomats, former officials and political experts called on Biden to abandon plans to seek re-election for a second term due to the high probability of defeat.
Former US President Barack Obama urged Biden to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy in the upcoming elections.
