Relations between the US and Russia have sunk further after US President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal".
This came on the same day that Russian air strikes hit a theatre in the city of Mariupol where over 1,000 people were thought to be sheltering, according to the city's deputy mayor, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine rages on. Ukraine President, Volodomyr Zelensky, called this a deliberate and targeted attack. Russia has denied bombing the site.
Yesterday Zelensky made an address to US Congress via video garnering several standing ovations and, invoking Pearl Harbour and 9/11, pleaded with America for more weapons and tougher sanctions against Russia, saying: “We need you right now.” US President Joe Biden announced the US was sending an additional 800 million dollars (£608 million) in military aid to Ukraine.
