Following the atrocities in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, US President Joe Biden has called for Russian leader Vladimir Putin to be tried for war crimes.
"He should be held accountable," Biden said in Washington on Monday. «This guy is brutal. It's disgusting what's happening in Bucha and everyone saw it," Biden said. It is a war crime. Investigations would now have to document “all the details” “so that there can be a war crimes trial,” said Biden.
The President also said the US would tighten sanctions against Russia over the war of aggression in Ukraine. "I will continue to add sanctions," Biden said. In addition, the US would continue to supply Ukraine with weapons to fight against the Russian attackers, he said.
