US EditionTrump is appeasing Putin by pressuring Ukraine, says Biden
- Former President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump in a May 2025 BBC interview in Delaware for pressuring Ukraine to cede territory to Russia.
- Biden argued this pressure amounts to 'modern-day appeasement,' referencing Neville Chamberlain's failed policy towards Hitler in the late 1930s.
- He said Trump’s approach risks weakening US-European alliances and does not deter Russian President Vladimir Putin, who views Ukraine as part of Russia.
- Biden stated, "anyone who thinks Putin will stop if some territory is conceded is foolish," emphasizing the threat posed by allowing Russian gains.
- Biden’s comments suggest that conceding land to Russia undermines global security and alliances, with long-term implications for US leadership and European stability.
