President Joe Biden made a point of calling Russia's actions in Ukraine a "genocide'' on the same day his counterpart Vladimir Putin said peace talks have reached a "dead end'' and the war will continue until Moscow's goals are accomplished.

Before heading back to the White House from Iowa, Biden told reporters Tuesday that he intentionally said "genocide” when describing Russia’s atrocities against Ukraine, something he had previously avoided. “It’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is trying to wipe out the idea of being Ukrainian,” Biden said.

    1. @No Chance Without Pasta You may want to research things before you post. It will make you look less foolish. This started before the Ukraine confict.

    1. I was treated by a Donetsk doctor Mom, I’m a prisoner, but don’t cry. Darned, now as new. I was treated by a Donetsk doctor, Tired, strict and severe. Treated me. Do you hear, Mom: I was hitting the city with Grads, And half of the hospital is just rubbish, But he treated me: “It’s necessary.” Mom, I’m a monster, I’m sorry. We got lost in the streams of lies. I’ve been carrying this cross all my life. Now my eyes are open. We were taken to those places, Where the shells landed. And we couldn’t believe our eyes: What have we done with Donbass! Hospitals are full of wounded. Here every Kiev curses. The father, whiter than a canvas, shakes the dead Child. Mother, I am a monster, an executioner. And there are no terrorists here, Mom. There is only human groaning and crying, And we are scarier to them than the fascists. We, Mom, were sent to the slaughter, The battalion commander was not sorry for us. A militia man shouted to me: “Stop! Get down, brat!” – and then use obscenities. He didn’t want to shoot me. He is a Man, and I am a murderer. I took it out of the battle! Do you hear, mother, Me, the Donbass bloodsucker! Mom, I’m a prisoner, but don’t cry. Darned, now

    1. And APU run, wearing dresses, Leaving, thank God, the shield alive. “We are working!” – We often hear, – “Brothers! By point, by Nazi, by fire” The roads in the village are like porridge, Broken houses here and there, People come out, cry, you can hear: “Ours!” Although we have been moving to the Ukrainians for a long time. They were robbed by their own, nats. battalions And houses were shot in cities, Gratitude is close to us and familiar: “Thank you for returning the city to us!”
