practical haine has more now from washington dc. the most important part is his staff had been avoiding that for the weeks of this war, you saw the president de, they'd come out before and they'd say, well there war crimes in their atrocities. now the president just flat out said it's genocide just a little bit of the background of the event. he was an iowa because he was talking to people about inflation. his poll numbers are very visible because inflation is skyrocketing higher, highest, and it's been in more than 40 years. so basically he went and you said, look, you shouldn't have to pay more for gas and fuel. because this dictator decides to launch a war and committed genocide. so he's just trying to use that language to make people realize that there's a reason they're paying this price. now conservative has said that disingenuous and inflation was rising before the invasion began, but it is a very big deal for the president to use this word. now, what will the practical impacts of a be the united states is not

a member of the international criminal court. but the us, instead of going to do is provide millions of p of money to the investigators who are documenting these war crimes. they're willing to try and help the process and that way, but it also sends a message to have the united states president use this term genocide. and it was clear that the ukranian president realizes the importance of this. he tweeted out soon after those words, true, true words of a true leader at present post us calling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. we are grateful to us assistance provided so far and we urgently the more heavy weapons to prevent further russian atrocities. so we'll have to look in the coming days to see if more world leaders adopt this language. russia president has defended the war, calling it a noble mission, which he says will achieve its goals. vladimir putin also said his country can't be isolated and we'll work with partners who want to cooperate. one of those allies, bella ruth, his leader alexander lucas shanker, is on a visit to russia,

dosage bar reports now from moscow. a day to celebrate to past russian successes with old allies, president vladimir putin arrived at the ghost, touching the cosmo jerome in russia's for ease. with bella, russian president, alexander lucas jenko, to mark 61 years he, since one of the biggest achievements in russia's history. april 12th 1961 russian cosmonaut. eureka gar, in became the 1st man his face a clearly happy memory for the president who says he still remembers that day as a 9 year old boy. but the ongoing conflict with ukraine is still at the top of the agenda for president putin room. unfortunately, ukraine was created as some kind of launch pod for aggression against russia and the offshoots of nationalism. what totally cherished this new generation of ukrainian nationalists are especially crushing with russia. you see how nazi ideology became a fact of life and ukraine was,

it was unavoidable. if you are taking steps to provide security for russia, we didn't have any other choice. we did the right thing, and i have no doubt that our aims will be achieved. russia so called special military operation is now in a 2nd phase, which of officials say will focus on the dumbass region of ukraine. vladimir putin also praised russian troops for what he calls, efficiently, courageously and competently carrying out their operation. that operation was the topic of discussions between the russian president and his bella. russian counterpart of bela bruce has host that russian troops since earlier this year. and the key of government accused minsk of allowing their borders to be used by russian troops to enter ukraine. despite the criticism from the wes president lucas jenko support for vladimir putin continues to be unwavering. prior to their meeting, lucas jenko vowed bella luce will always be by russia side. the 2 presidents emerged from their discussions with renewed determination further to consolidate

their unity, which will include closer military ties with little we discussed detail important issues including political, diplomatic, economic and of course, military on defense. our modern history hasn't seen yet such dangerous and complicated moments and our relationship with the west coach and also praise lucas shank has role in starting the negotiations between moscow and keith, which are still ongoing. but the russian president admitted that they have now reached a deadlock. those talks between russia and ukraine, and officials began just a few days after russia's military operation. but there were never any high hopes that they would bring an end to the fighting anytime soon. now vladimir putin has confirmed what many fear of his pulse rate will only end once russia achieves it's objectives, regardless of how long it takes and i walk hall's door. so jibari al jazeera moscow,
