Germany's economy minister, Robert Habeck, warned that the country could become "poorer" due to Russia's war on Ukraine and its effects on the economy. The situation comes as the invasion has caused soaring gas prices and Germany is Russia's largest customer in Europe.
United States President Joe Biden claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin has either "fired" or placed his advisers under "house arrest" over the situation in the Ukraine war. The situation comes after reports that Putin was misled by his confidants regarding his troops' performance amid the invasion.
