HeadlineApr 13, 2022

In another development, President Biden has accused Russia of committing genocide in Ukraine. He made the comment during a speech in Iowa about rising fuel prices.

President Joe Biden: “Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away.”

In recent months Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly accused the Ukrainian government of committing genocide in eastern Ukraine, where Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian separatists have been fighting since 2014.
