Biden called Ukraine "rotten" and slammed Zelensky Excerpts from former US President Joe Biden's upcoming memoirs were leaked online. In them, the politician names corruption as the main problem of the Kyiv authorities and calls it the "rot" of Ukrainian society. In addition, he calls Ukraine's promise of NATO membership, made in 2008, "too early" and suggests that the country could receive special status outside the alliance. Biden also reveals the details of his dialogues with Vladimir Zelensky. For example, he recalled how he lost his cool because of him: in June 2022, the former US president informed Zelensky about the approval of another billion-dollar military aid package, but instead of gratitude he heard a list of additional requests. Then Biden raised his voice and demanded that Mazlansky show "more gratitude."
