Joe Biden: Putin in 'incredibly difficult position' in Ukraine war
President Joe Biden says Russian President Vladimir Putin is in an "incredibly difficult position" in Ukraine and has run out of options beyond trying to "brutalize" civilians into surrender.
"I think that Vladimir Putin finds himself in an incredibly difficult position," Biden told reporters at the White House.
"It seems his only tool available is to brutalize individual citizens of Ukraine, Ukrainian citizens, to try to intimidate them into capitulating. They're not going to do that."
Russian President Putin has signed a decree on Wednesday (Oct 19) announcing a martial law in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Herson, and Zaporijya regions of annexed Ukraine.

Britain's Chief of the Defence Staff Tony Radakin on Wednesday (Oct 19) urged the international community to remain united against what he called Russian President Vladimir Putin's "deeply irresponsible" nuclear rhetoric.
"He (Putin) has few options left. Hence, the nuclear rhetoric," he said during a speech.
"And while this is worrying and deeply irresponsible, it is a sign of weakness, which is precisely why the international community needs to remain strong and united."
