Former U.S. President Joe Biden has accused President Donald Trump of secretly working with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The allegations were made by the former president during an exclusive interview with BBC News.
While Biden didn’t present direct evidence, the timing and tone suggest a strategic political move. Trump has yet to respond publicly, but analysts warn the claims could reshape political narratives in both Washington and Moscow.
Addressing the BBC, Joe Biden mentions that Trump and his administration are pressuring Ukraine to give up the territory to Russia, and he terms this as “modern-day appeasement”.
“Anybody that thinks he is going to stop if some territory is conceded as part of a peace deal is just foolish”, Biden stated while speaking in Delaware on Monday.

As the Allied nations mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day this week, Biden spoke out saying that his concerns were the breaking of the US-Europe relations under President Donald Trump, which he feels would change ‘the modern history of the world’
Trump has said he expects Russia to keep the Crimean Peninsula, which was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014, and last month, he accused Ukraine’s leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, of harming peace negotiations when Zelensky rejected the suggestion.
Reports suggest recent US proposals for a truce settlement not only include formal US recognition of Crimea as part of Russia, but also de facto US recognition of Russian control of other occupied areas in Ukraine. The White House has not publicly confirmed the details.

“I just don’t understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he’s going to take significant portions of land that aren’t his, that that’s going to satisfy him. I don’t quite understand,” Biden spoke out, referring to Putin.
On the other hand, Trump, together with his team officials, criticises the European countries for highly depending on the US for their support, and despite the fact that the US is by some margin the largest and single donor to Ukraine, European countries have spent way more.
