Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been condemned by others as a war criminal for his invasion of Ukraine before Biden echoed that label.
Biden initially replied,"No."
The reporter then asked if Biden will"go to Poland," where many Ukraine refugees have fled the Russian invasion."Oh, I think he is a war criminal," Biden said. White House press secretary Jen Psaki later said that Biden was speaking from his heart and from what he has seen on the news, which is"barbaric actions by a brutal dictator."
Psaki noted that there is a separate legal process to determine whether Putin has violated international law and committed war crimes. That process currently is underway at the State Department, she said.
