Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is trying to break the will of a free people. This is how US President Joe Biden commented on the Russian missile attack on Poltava, which killed 51 people and wounded 271, FREEDOM reports with reference to the White House website.

The American leader condemned the strike. Biden called the attack a tragic reminder of the Russian dictator’s repeated and outrageous attempts to break the will of a free people.

“But for two and a half years, the people of Ukraine have stood firm. And the United States will continue to stand with them — including by providing the air defense systems and capabilities they need to defend their country. Make no mistake: Russia will not win this war. The people of Ukraine will win. And on this tragic day, and every day, the United States stands with them,” the US president said.

Recall that on September 3, Russian occupiers struck an educational institution and a hospital in Poltava with two ballistic missiles.
