Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping will speak Friday about Russia. A Kremlin spokesman said a report of major progress in talks with Ukraine was “wrong” but that discussions will continue on Thursday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy addressed German lawmakers a day after an impassioned address to U.S. Congress. Biden branded Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” and offered $800 million-worth of new weaponry to Ukraine. Ukraine’s military said Russian strikes continued on infrastructure sites and on densely populated areas of cities. But it said the Kremlin’s forces remain bogged down on the ground. Russia said its troops were advancing through the town of Sievierodonetsk in the Luhansk region in the east. Group of Seven foreign ministers meet virtually Thursday to discuss the crisis.
