Bessent admits that Putin is war criminal
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has acknowledged that Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the Kyiv Post.
Bessent said this in a speech to the Congress.
He was asked whether he would negotiate with a war criminal, referring to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
"I think that’s the nature of diplomacy when one must negotiate with both sides. (...) I believe that negotiation was needed with the Japanese after WWII," the minister replied.
He was also asked directly whether he considered Putin a war criminal. Bessent answered: "Yes".
