US President Joe Biden visits Poland, the last day of his European tour.
He called the Russian invasion a ‘strategic failure’ and emphasized that NATO would not lose its territory.
He also called for tighter sanctions and said Putin would not be able to remain in power.

“Please, hopefully, this man (Putin) will not be able to remain in power.”
President Biden, who visited the refugee shelters at the Warsaw National Stadium before his speech, continued his harsh criticism of Putin even in front of reporters.

“(You get daily reports regarding Putin. What do you think of what he did to the refugees?) He’s a ‘slayer’.”
Refugees expected President Biden’s visit to be a turning point in ending the war.

“I am so grateful for all the remarks the President of the United States has made, saying that we support our choices, our President and our people.”
The same time President Biden visited Warsaw, Russia bombed a fuel storage facility in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, near the Polish border.
At least five people were injured in the bombing, but this is the first time that the interior of the Lviv city border has been targeted.
“It’s a reminder that Russia can bomb anywhere in Ukraine,” the Associated Press reported.
Russian attacks on Kharkiv in the north and Mariupol in the south continue across Ukraine.
In particular, in the southern Kherson and Zaporiza provinces controlled by the Russian military, it is said that a new civilian-military joint government under the control of the Russian army is being established.
It is predicted that Russia will try to occupy the entire Black Sea coast following establishing a permanent control system in these two states.
