“I fear that Europe will not lose confidence in the certainty and leadership of America and the world, not only with regard to NATO but also other subjects that have consequences,” he added.
During this interview, Joe Biden also attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, according to him, believes that Ukraine “is part of the Russian mother”. “He talks about Eastern Europe … What this man wants to do is (r) to establish the Warsaw Pact,” he said.
“He does not support (…) that the Soviet Union has collapsed, and whoever thinks he will stop is simply stupid,” added the Democrat, calling for “doing everything possible to avoid war” but “not give in to tyrants.”
Mr. Biden also criticized the way Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was treated by the Republican administration during his visit to Washington at the end of February, when an altercation had broken down to the cameras in the oval office. “I found that it was not so worthy of the United States, the way it happened,” said Mr. Biden.
