U.S. President Joe Biden commented on Russian president Putin's statement about the alleged announcement of a so-called ceasefire along the entire contact line in Ukraine on the occasion of Christmas.

“He was willing to bomb hospitals and nurseries and churches … on the 25th and New Year’s. I mean, I think he’s trying to find some oxygen,” Biden said, Aljazeera informs.

As reported, earlier Russian propaganda media reported that Putin allegedly ordered to declare a "ceasefire regime" from 12:00 on January 6 to 24:00 on January 7 along the entire contact line in Ukraine.
