"The best Russian air defence is Biden"
On the set of LCI, the French news channel, Samantha de Bendern, researcher at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, referred to the delay that the Americans are taking to authorize long-range weapons for Ukraine against Russia.
For the specialist in international conflicts, the Ukrainian's disappointment is more and more important:
"I think that it's becoming more and more complicated for the Ukrainians to accept the American procrastination. Today, I spoke to a Ukrainian who told me that ultimately, the best anti-aircraft defense of the Russians is Joe Biden. He doesn't understand. He tells me that if on February 22, 2022, we had delivered all the weapons to Ukraine, we would not have had hundreds of thousands of deaths."
Samantha de Benderm continues:
"Many analysts will say the same thing, if Ukraine had received all the weapons it has today, but in 2022, this war would have been over a long time ago."
