Former President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump for suggesting Ukraine may have to give up territory in exchange for peace, calling it a “modern-day appeasement,” in reference to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s efforts to appease Adolf Hitler as he sought to annex land in the 1930s.

In his first interview since leaving office, the 82-year-old criticises his successor's handling of the war and is challenged on his own record.

In his first interview since leaving the White House, Biden told the BBC that Trump's approach to Russia is 'modern-day appeasement' that won't work.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Moscow and Kyiv want to settle the war in Ukraine and that Russian President Vladimir Putin was more inclined towards peace after the recent fall in the price of oil.

President Donald Trump said the sliding price of oil is intensifying pressure on Russia and boosting the odds for a deal to end its war in Ukraine.

"I think Russia, with the price of oil right now, oil has gone down, we are in a good position to settle, they want to settle. Ukraine wants to settle," U.S. President Donald Trump said.
