Russian media criticizes Biden for silence on Ukraine missile decision during Brazil press conference
ndtv.com —
US President Joe Biden held a press conference in Brazil but did not address the recent decision allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. Russian state media mocked Biden's silence on the issue, posting a video of him appearing to wander off into the Amazon after the conference. They criticized the US decision, suggesting it increases American involvement in the war. The Biden administration's move to authorize Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles has drawn anger from the Kremlin. Officials claim it exacerbates tensions, while incoming President Donald Trump has expressed intentions to negotiate peace in Ukraine.
