Biden on Putin: 'I think he is a war criminal'

[LetMyPeopleVote]

This is a big deal. I understand that people were hoping that not calling Putin out would facilitate negotiations. It appears clear that Putin is not negotiating in good faith and so Biden is free to call Putin out as a war criminal

President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" on Wednesday as Russia intensifies its attack on Ukraine.

"I think he is a war criminal," Biden said to reporters after remarks at the White House.

Biden's designation reflects a shift from the administration's previous stance. Officials, including Biden, had previously stopped short of saying war crimes were being committed in Ukraine, citing ongoing investigations into whether that term could be used.

But officials have been clear they believe atrocities are underway and that the intentional targeting of civilians would constitute war crimes.
