WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said in an interview Thursday that U.S. weapons would not be used to strike Moscow and the Kremlin as he commemorated the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy.

During an interview with ABC News anchor David Muir, Biden was asked if American weapons were being used in Russia. Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons to retaliate against Russian forces attacking them near the Kharkiv region.

“They are authorized for use near the border when used across the border to attack specific targets in Ukraine,” Biden told Muir. “We do not authorize strikes 200 miles inside Russia and we do not authorize strikes on Moscow, on the Kremlin.”

Muir then asked Biden about a statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin that “providing high-precision weapons to Ukraine for strikes on Russian territory constitutes direct participation in this war.”

“Does this concern you?” » asked Muir.

“I have known him for over 40 years. It has worried me for 40 years. He's not an honest man,” Biden said. “He's a dictator, and he's struggling to hold his country together while continuing this assault.”
