US president Joe Biden called Russian president Vladimir Putin, a war criminal. After which Russia slammed Biden and said Biden’s comments were ‘unforgivable’ and he insisted that the war in Ukraine was ‘going to plan’. These comments of Biden come after  Biden announced $800 million in security assistance to Ukraine. "On Saturday, my administration authorised another $200 million to keep a steady flow of weapons and ammunition moving to Ukraine. Now I'm once again using my presidential authority to activate additional security assistance to continue to help Ukraine fend off Russia's assault, an additional $800 million of assistance" he said. 

The war between Russia and Ukraine is going on for three weeks now, but no concrete results have yet been reached. Russia has been attacking several Ukrainian cities for so long. But bitter resistance from Ukraine's military and civilians remains a major obstacle to Russia's victory. Therefore, mighty Russia has become weak. At the same time, Ukraine has accused Russia of using banned phosphorus munitions in an overnight attack on the town of Popasna in Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region.
