Biden also portrayed Putin as a calculating man who wrongly believed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would lead to the downfall of NATO and the European Union, it added.

That funding was in addition to the approval of $800 million in weapons, ammunition, and other security assistance earlier this month.

He criticized (as usual) America, NATO, and the government in Kyiv, claiming that their actions had put the security of Russia itself in danger. He made citations (as usual) to “neo-Nazis” in Ukraine. We hear that a lot from Russian officials, who usually voice the baseless claim that Ukraine has been overrun by fascists, ultra-nationalists, and Nazi sympathizers.
