Biden calls for Putin to face war crimes trial, after mass graves found in Ukraine
President Biden on Monday called for a war crimes trial against Russian President Vladimir Putin following reports of the mass killing of Ukraine civilians by Russian troops in a suburb of Kyiv.
“He’s a war criminal,” Mr. Biden said of Mr. Putin, when asked about the reports of Ukraine civilians being slaughtered by Russian troops in Bucha, which sits northwest of Kyiv, the Ukraine capital.
“This guy is brutal and what’s happening in Bucha is outrageous and everyone’s seen it,” Mr. Biden told reporters after video surfaced showing Bucha’s streets littered with dead bodies.
“I think it’s a war crime,” the president said. “He should be held accountable.”
“You may remember, I got criticized last month for calling Putin a war criminal,” Mr. Biden said. “Well, the truth of the matter is you saw what happened in Bucha. This warrants him — he is a war criminal.”
