Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Tuesday that his invasion of Ukraine is going as planned and vowed to continue the war, while President Biden seemed to suggest that Moscow’s military operation amounted to “genocide” — the first time he has publicly used that label.

Biden has in recent weeks resisted the term “genocide,” instead referring to reported atrocities in Ukraine as “war crimes.” But on Tuesday, Biden said that “it’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is trying to wipe out the idea of being Ukrainian.”
