The US President, Joe Bidensaid tonight at a Democrats fundraiser that “We haven’t faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis.“.

The president affirmed that Putin “is not kidding when he talks about the possible use of tactical weapons”, nuclear or biological, because his army does not perform sufficiently.

Reuters also reports that the Kremlin has denied reports that 700,000 Russians have fled the country since Moscow announced a mobilization campaign calling on hundreds of thousands to fight in Ukraine.
