In a recent BBC interview, former U.S. President Joe Biden criticized his successor, Donald Trump, for pressuring Ukraine to cede territory to Russia. Biden described this tactic as 'modern-day appeasement' that will never satisfy Moscow's ambitions.

Highlighting the threat posed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden asserted that Putin views Ukraine as integral to 'mother Russia.' He dismissed notions that such territorial concessions would quell Russian aggression, labeling those beliefs as 'foolish.'

Biden also voiced concerns regarding Europe's trust in American leadership, suggesting that European leaders are questioning the U.S.'s reliability and pondering future collaboration.
