Washington DC, 17/3: US President Joe Biden calling Russian leader Vladimir Putin a war criminal on Wednesday is “unforgivable”, the Kremlin said as it insisted the war in Ukraine was “going to plan” amid talk of compromise at peace talks.
Moscow has yet to capture any of Ukraine’s biggest cities following its invasion that began on Feb. 24, the largest assault on a European state since World War Two, raising fears of wider conflict in the West unthought-of for decades.
Putin on Wednesday said he was ready to discuss neutral status for Ukraine but what he calls a “special military operation” to “demilitarize and denazify” the country was “going to plan” justified by the need to uphold Russian security. Ukraine and the West say Moscow is carrying out an unprovoked incursion.
