DES MOINES, Iowa: President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Russia's war in Ukraine amounted to 'genocide,' accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to 'wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.'

'Yes, I called it genocide,' he told reporters in Iowa shortly before boarding Air Force One to return to Washington. 'It's become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.'
