The First Lady Jill Biden spoke out on Monday to slam Russian President Vladimir Putin as his “senseless” invasion of Ukraine continues.

Daily Mail reported that Jill was responding to Russia’s attack on a maternity ward in Ukraine that killed a pregnant woman and her baby.

“Like all of us, my heart has ached watching videos of Ukraine,” Biden said. “Sick kids fleeing on makeshift medical trains, the unthinkable bombing of a maternity ward. Parents weeping over their children’s broken bodies in the streets. The senselessness is staggering.”

Biden went on to say that Ukrainian women who have been killed during this invasion are “casualties of war.”

“Women have been told that they are dangerous,” she said. “And that’s because they are—dangerous to corruption and injustice. When we raise our voices, we have the power to shatter the shields of oppression. That’s why cowardly men stop girls from learning. It’s why women’s bodies become casualties of war.”

Biden made these comments while speaking at the 2022 International Women of Courage Award Ceremony at the State Department. There, she talked about how crucial it is for women to tell their stories and play a role in the future of Ukraine.

“There can be no true democracy, no true prosperity, without women’s voices,” said the wife of Joe Biden. “Women warriors everywhere need to hear what’s possible.”

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also spoke at this ceremony to pay tribute to the women of Ukraine.

“Millions of Ukrainian women have fled their country with their families,” he said. “Millions more stayed to help their country fight against Russia’s unprovoked unjustified war. I saw many of them on the border with Poland just about a week ago. And it’s something that stays embedded in your mind and memory.”

This comes days after Biden opened up about how scared she is about the situation in Ukraine.

“We don’t know where it’s going to go. We just don’t know,” she said over the weekend, according to The New York Post. “And we’re all just holding our breath, aren’t we? That something, some answer will come so that we don’t get into this world war.”

“It’s unbelievable, right?” she continued, “To think that that could happen in our lifetime.”

Liberals spent years claiming that Donald Trump was Putin’s puppet, yet the Russian president waited until Joe Biden was in office to invade Ukraine. This seems to prove once and for all that Trump was not the Russian asset that the leftwing media claimed for years that he was.
