Russia says President Joe Biden’s decision to label Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” has put “Russian-American relations on the verge of rupture.”
American WNBA star player Brittney Griner is currently being held in pretrial detention outside Moscow on allegations of smuggling drugs. The American Embassy did not mention Griner by name in its tweet.
The diplomatic breakdown comes as Russia nears the one-month point in its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, launched Feb 24. White House press secretary Jen Psaki later said Biden was speaking from his heart about what he has seen on the news about the"barbaric actions by a brutal dictator." While the formal process proceeds slowly, top officials in the Biden administration have openly alleged that Putin is a war criminal and that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine.
