Superpower showdown: Biden and Putin in duelling Ukraine anniversary speeches

france24.com

As for Putin, what are his options? He is still not calling it a war, but a fresh wave of mobilisation is expected. Will he ease up or double down?

He told the Russian parliament of Moscow's suspension of its last remaining nuclear treaty with the United States. Is this more bluster or an ominous prelude to a much darker escalation?

Either way, there is no sign of peace breaking out any time soon. How do ordinary Ukrainians navigate this anniversary and the hard times that lie ahead?
