Biden: Putin tries to save Russia from falling apart

**"I've known him for 40 years (sic), he's been bothering me for 40 years. He's not a good man. He is simply a dictator and struggles to guarantee that his country does not fall apart while inactive sustaining this attack. We are not talking about giving them (Ukrainians - PAP) weapons to hit Moscow to hit the Kremlin" - said Biden in an ABC-issued interview in Normandy. He thus responded to Putin's words that providing precise weapons for Ukraine to strike in Russia constitutes a "direct participation in this war"**.
