Lufta në Ukrainë: Për herë të parë, presidenti amerikan quan Putin "kriminel lufte"
Presidenti amerikan, Joe Biden e ka quajtur për herë të parë Vladimir Putin, "kriminel lufte", një epitet që me siguri do të përshkallëzojë tensionin e konfliktit mes tyre.
This is the first time the president has used such language against Putin, but White House officials later said Biden "spoke with all his heart" when referring to him as a "war criminal."
The Kremlin, on the other hand, called it "unforgivable rhetoric."
"We believe that such rhetoric is unacceptable and unforgivable when it comes to the head of a state whose bombs have killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world," Russian officials told local media.
