Biden's 'genocide' declaration not expected to trigger immediate changes to US policy
CNN
President Joe Biden's declaration Tuesday that atrocities underway in Ukraine constitute a "genocide" is not expected to trigger any immediate changes to US policy toward the conflict, US officials familiar with the matter say.
Instead, Biden's remark -- which he said fell short of an official legal declaration -- reflected his escalating outrage at scenes of brutality emerging as Russian troops leave Ukrainian cities ravaged.
The comment came before an expected move by the US on Wednesday to unveil its latest tranche of military assistance to Ukraine, a package that could come in north of $700 million and was expected to include armored vehicles, drones and other weapons.
