Biden Slams Trump Over ‘Modern Day Appeasement’ in Ukraine

Former US President Joe Biden said the Donald Trump administration is appeasing Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin by pressuring Ukraine to give up territory as part of a potential peace deal to end Russia’s invasion.

“It is modern-day appeasement,” Biden told the BBC in his first interview since leaving office, a comparison to the 1930s policy of conceding to Nazi Germany’s territorial demands in an effort to avert World War II. “I just don’t understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he’s going to take significant portions of land that aren’t his, that that’s going to satisfy him.”
