Biden calls to put Putin on trial for war crimes.
President Joe Biden on Monday called for evidence to be gathered to put Russian leader Vladimir Putin on trial for war crimes related to his nation’s invasion of Ukraine. “He is a war criminal,” Biden said of Putin, on the heels of reports of mass killings of civilians by Russian-controlled troops in the town of Bucha, northwest of Kyiv. “This guy is brutal, and what’s happening in Bucha is outrageous, and everyone’s seen it,” Biden told reporters a day after the video and still images revealed the town’s streets littered with dead bodies. “I think it is a war crime. … He should be held accountable.” We have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue to fight, and we have to get all the detail to have a war crimes trial.
