He added: "But I knew we had data to sustain [the assessment]."
The US President comments came as part of his talk about the support the US presents to Ukraine as the war continues for the for fourth month.
“Nothing like this has happened since World War II. I know a lot of people thought I was maybe exaggerating. But I knew we had data to sustain he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) was going to go in, off the border,” he commented.
“There was no doubt,” Biden added. “And Zelenskiy didn’t want to hear it.”
It is worthy to mention that a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that his country is losing 100 to 200 soldiers a day while fighting on the front lines.
