President Biden’s unscripted remark declaring that the Russian leader “cannot remain in power” threatens to unravel the threads of US-Russia relations.

The United States says it is "concerned" that Russians "may use chemical weapons in Ukraine," ratcheting up its propaganda offensive against Moscow over the Ukraine crisis.

US President branding of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" has angered Russia, which has said US bombs have killed hundreds of thousands around the world. 

The world is watching the Russian “special military operation” in Ukraine with bated breath as the slightest misstep can potentially end in such a way that would send shockwaves across the globe.

Wall Street stocks ended sharply lower on Friday for the second straight session, as investors fretted about deepening tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

The United States has again threatened Russia with “severe costs” if it launches any military action in neighboring Ukraine, despite Moscow’s repeated denials.

Moscow is growing weary of the West threatening its borders and the false accusations against Russia, from invading Ukraine to planning a false flag to do so, as diplomacy falters the prospect of an armed conflict is becoming very real.
