The Kremlin has responded to comments made by US President Joe Biden where he referred to Russian President Putin as a “war criminal

The Russian Government says comments made by the US President are “unforgiveable” and has vowed it will not be ending its military operation in Ukraine anytime soon.

Ukraine will receive an additional $1 billion in security assistance from the United States as the war continues

President Biden is pledging the direct transfer of weapons to Ukrainian forces… in what he says ensures “Ukraine will never be a victory for Putin”.

The total military assistance being provided by the United States is more than it has ever provided to a single country in the past.

This latest assistance package will include a range of weaponry and defensive machinery including drones, anti-aircraft systems, machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers and 20 million rounds of ammunition.

Biden says the West will continue to do everything it can to push for an end to this tragic war.

Following this media conference, Biden publicly labelled Vladimir Putin a war criminal

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has delivered a passionate address virtually to Congress with a clear message: “We are all Ukrainians”.

With his nation under siege, the leader called on American lawmakers to do more, requesting further lethal aid, a no-fly zone and increased sanctions on Russians.

Zelensky also proposed the creation of a new international security organization, asking President Biden to be the leader not only of the U-S but of the world.

It’s not the first time Zelensky has spoken so passionately to Western diplomats, with this address following previous talks to Canadian, British and European lawmakers.

The International Court of Justice has officially ordered Moscow to stop its invasion of Ukraine, warning there is no evidence to support its justification of the war.

In a statement, the ICJ says:

“The Russian Federation shall immediately suspend the military operations, that have as their stated purpose the prevention and punishment of a claimed genocide”.

Ukraine filed a dispute to the court on February 26, citing the Convention of Crime of Genocide.

The hearing took place in The Hague, with the decision confirmed by a 13-2 vote.

A Russian and a Chinese judge were the two to vote against the decision.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.

Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen has delivered a clear message amid renewed pressure from the U.S. — if forced to choose between the United States and Denmark, Greenland will pick Denmark, NATO, and the EU.

Nielsen made the declaration in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ahead of diplomatic talks with top U.S. officials.

The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has again stoked controversy by suggesting Washington could pursue ownership or control of Greenland, citing strategic interests in the Arctic. European leaders and Greenlandic officials have pushed back strongly against these ideas, emphasising sovereignty and respect for international law.

This standoff places Greenland’s future in the spotlight — as Copenhagen and Nuuk reaffirm their ties, local sentiment remains overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. annexation and supportive of Greenland’s own path forward.
