Saber-rattling by President Vladimir Putin and sharp words for the Russian leader by President Joe Biden are dominating the news today ahead of the one-year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. A day after Biden's surprise trip to Kyiv, Putin gave a fiery speech in Moscow that underscored his anger over Washington's staunch support for Ukraine. As Kim Hjelmgaard and Joey Garrison report, Putin announced he was suspending Moscow's participation in New START, a strategic nuclear arms reduction treaty. In a speech to both houses of Russia's parliament, he lashed out at the West, accusing the U.S. and its allies of seeking "limitless power." Hours later in Poland, Biden lavished praise on Ukraine for its "iron will" in fending off Russia. He also slammed Putin, saying "he was wrong" to underestimate Ukraine. "One year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of Kyiv," Biden said. "Well, I just came from visiting Kyiv, and I can report, Kyiv stands strong. Kyiv stands proud. It stands tall. And most importantly, it stands free." 💬 Keep reading: More from Putin's nearly two hour speech 💬 Biden in Warsaw speech today: 'Kyiv stands strong' and Putin 'was wrong.' 📨 Get this newsletter in your inbox: Sign up for OnPolitics Nikki Haley tells Iowans to 'look forward' and pick her over Trump "We need to leave the status quo in the past.
