Earlier, Joe Biden labelled President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” over Russia’s operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine, launched on 24 February to defend the predominantly Russian-speaking people of the two breakaways, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR, LPR), against deadly offensive attacks by the Kiev regime.
A video has resurfaced on social media, where then-senator Joe Biden, speaking at a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee meeting in 1998, say he suggested bombing the peaceful city of Belgrade and sending American pilots to destroy all the bridges on the Danube in 1999.
The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, reposted the footage on his social media account, reminding the current US President of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia that is estimated to have killed about 2,500 people, including 89 children.
“Can Biden be reminded who the war criminal is?” queried Rogozin, adding:
“On the edge of his grave, this bloody old man must remember his atrocities, the thousands of civilians he killed.”

The Russian space chief statement followed POTUS’ move to label Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal”.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also reminded that the meeting in the video featuring Biden took place just a year before the bombing of Belgrade.
“Biden says he was the one who suggested bombing the Yugoslav capital. I repeat once again – he talks about this even before the actual bombing, explaining that if Belgrade had been bombed, as he advised, then 200 thousand people would not have died in Bosnia. And all this is being said by a representative of a state that had neither common borders nor a common history with Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia posed no direct or indirect threat to the United States or its citizens,” said Zakharova.
