Warsaw ¨C U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday delivered a forceful denunciation of Russian President Vladimir Putin¡¯s invasion of Ukraine, declaring ¡°for God¡¯s sake, this man cannot remain in power,¡± as he cast the war as the latest front in a decadeslong battle between the forces of democracy and oppression.
Ending a three-day diplomatic trip to Europe with a fiery speech outside a centuries-old castle in Warsaw, Biden described the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the ¡°test of all time¡± in a post-World War II struggle between democracy and autocracy, ¡°between liberty and repression, between a rules-based order and one governed by brute force.¡±
¡°In this battle, we need to be cleareyed,¡± Biden said in front of a crowd waving Polish, Ukrainian and American flags. ¡°This battle will not be won in days or months, either. We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead.¡±
