US President Joe Biden says Russia’s Vladimir Putin is committing genocide

President of the United States Joe Biden has accused Putin of committing genocide while addressing rising fuel prices throughout America.

Previously stopping short of using the word genocide to describe the events unfolding in Ukraine the President says the budgets of millions Americans shouldn’t be dependent on the actions of one dictator.

The United States will not confirm whether Russian forces have deployed chemical weapons during their invasion of Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was responding to a warning by Volodymyr Zelensky that Russia may deploy chemical agents to weaken and incapacitate Ukraine’s military.

Blinken says there is credible information Russia may use a combination of chemical agents as part of its attempt to take the besieged city of Mariupol.
