US President Joe Biden on Thursday, after meeting with President Emmanuel Macron, said that Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine are pathological and said that he has no intention of contacting the Russian leader if he does not want to end the war, News.ro reports with reference to CNN . .

“There is only one rational way to end the war in Ukraine – for Putin to leave the country,” said Joe Biden.

“But it seems that he has no intention of doing this. He is paying very dearly for his failure, but he is committing an incredible, incredible massacre of the civilian population of Ukraine. He is bombing kindergartens, hospitals, orphanages. It is disgusting. What to do,” said Biden during a press conference together with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Biden assured that he does not plan to contact Putin, but he is “ready to talk” with the Russian leader “if he is interested in ending the war.” But he “hasn’t done it yet,” Joe Biden added.

“If that is the case, after consulting my French friends and my NATO friends, I will be happy to talk to Putin to see what he wants, what he has in mind. In the meantime, I think it is absolutely important what Emmanuel (Macron) said. We must support the Ukrainian people,” said Joe Biden.

The Russian aggression, Biden also said, was “incredibly cruel.”

“I knew Russia was (cruel), but I didn’t expect it to be as cruel as it is,” the American president admitted.

“Today, we once again confirm that we will stand in solidarity against this cruelty. We will continue this strong support for the Ukrainian people, who will defend their homes, their families, their hospitals, their kindergartens, their sovereignty, their integrity from Russian aggression,” said the head of the White House.

“We will work together to hold Russia accountable for its actions and mitigate the global impact of Putin’s war on the rest of the world,” Joe Biden promised.
