US President Joe Biden addressing CongressMOSCOW, Mar 2Vyacheslav Nikonov, First Deputy Head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, commenting on the speech of US President Joe Biden, where he confused Ukraine and Iran, said that this happened because for the American leader these are only Washington's foreign policy instruments. Nikonov noted that Biden during the appeal to the US Congress with the annual State of the Union Address, confused Ukrainians with Iranians, saying that «Putin can surround Kyiv with tanks, but he will never win the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.»Biden wanted to overtake China»The main American strategy — and their leading analysts write about this — is to turn Ukraine into «Afghanistan for Russia». And it's not at all about making Ukraine a free and prosperous state,» he wrote in the telegram channel.Pri In doing so, he noted that the US President this time delivered the most important message on the most important issue of world politics. «A person who claims to rule the whole world allows such reservations. It is no coincidence, in my opinion. For Biden, that Iran, that Afghanistan, that Ukraine — no difference,» the parliamentarian said.
Biden said that the situation in Ukraine «will make Russia weaker»Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine early Thursday morning, February 24th.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, the civilian population is not in danger.
