Peace Talks Between Russia and Ukraine Hit a Dead End

The war in Ukraine continues… Yesterday Russian President Vladimir Putin said that peace talks with Ukraine had hit a ‘dead end’. Putin also vowed that he ‘will not stop military operations’ in Ukraine until Moscow succeeds. He also dismissed the reports of atrocities in the Ukranian town of Bucha as ‘fake’ and compared them to ‘fake’ reports about the use of chemical weapons in Syria by the Assad regime. Yesterday, President Biden said that the atrocities being uncovered in Ukraine qualify as genocide, he said “I called it genocide because it’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out even the idea of being Ukrainian. The evidence is mounting,” Biden’s comment garnered praise from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy who began accusing Russia of committing genocide inside his country last week.
