For the first time, Biden appeared to call Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine genocide. “Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away,” he said.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday appeared for the first time to label Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine genocide.
“Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away,” Biden said. “Based on what we have seen so far, we have seen atrocities,” Sullivan said last week. “We have seen war crimes. We have not seen a level of systematic deprivation of life of the Ukrainian people to rise to the level of genocide.”. Just three weeks ago, the Biden administration formally labeled the Myanmar military’s actions against the country’s minority Rohingya population in 2016 and 2017 genocide and crimes against humanity.
