Biden Accuses Russia of Committing Genocide in Ukraine
------------------------------------------------------

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.
