What just happened

  • Biden said Putin’s false claim that Ukraine has chemical weapons was a “clear sign” he was considering using them himself (more below). 
  • Russian shelling killed Boris Romantschenko, a 96-year-old Ukrainian man who survived the Nazi Holocaust, in the eastern city of Kharkiv.
  • A Russian court found Alexei Navalny, the Kremlin’s most vocal domestic critic, guilty of fraud charges that could significantly extend his prison sentence.
