Vladimir Zelensky is “visibly upset” by Joe Biden’s decision to pull out of a key meeting of Kiev’s backers, Rodion Miroshnik has said
A tour of European capitals by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is pointless because these nations have no intention of providing aid to Kiev without the US, senior Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik has claimed.
Earlier this week, US President Joe Biden announced he would miss a planned meeting on Saturday between Western arms donors and Ukrainian officials at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, in order to oversee the response to Hurricane Milton at home. Following Biden’s decision, the gathering was postponed altogether, with no announcement on a new date.
Miroshnik, who is tasked by the Russian Foreign Ministry with collecting evidence of alleged Ukrainian war crimes, suggested that the meeting was scrapped because “Biden and the European leaders failed to agree on the shares and the mechanism of supplying the Kiev regime.”
“Biden did not find anything better than to stay [in the US] and save the country from the hurricane. [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken also decided that the American coast cannot be protected from the hurricane without him,” the diplomat wrote in a Telegram post on Friday.
