President Biden’s biting comments calling Vladimir Putin a “dictator” who “cannot remain in power” have drawn the world’s attention, including a warning from French President Emmanuel Macron about escalating rhetoric, even as the White House sought to clarify the remarks.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed that there is no U.S. “strategy of regime change in Russia” and that Biden’s point was that Putin “cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else.”

Macron warned against an “escalation of words and actions,” adding that he wouldn’t “use those kinds of terms” as he continues to communicate with Putin.

Ukraine’s deputy prime minister praised Biden’s overall message from Warsaw, saying it was “important to have the sense of an international leadership and understanding of the tragedy which is happening.”

Hours before Biden’s speech, two powerful rockets struck Lviv, a western Ukrainian city that has been mostly spared from attacks. Russia confirmed that it had struck what it said were military targets.

Here’s what to know

  • Russian forces appear to be trying to encircle Ukrainian troops in separatist-held regions in eastern Ukraine, advancing from the direction of Kharkiv in the northeast and Mariupol in the southeast, a British intelligence report said Sunday.
  • The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence accused Russia on Sunday of trying to divide his country in two — “to create North and South Korea in Ukraine” — with the eastern part controlled by Russia.
  • Russian forces have entered Slavutych, a northern city that houses workers from the nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The city’s mayor told local media Sunday that officials have partially succeeded in replacing the plant’s shift workers, amid concerns that employees had not been able to return home.
  • Ukrainian officials say their forces have killed seven Russian generals on the battlefield. If true, the deaths of so many generals in one month, exceed the attrition rate seen in the worst months of the nine-year war fought by Russia in Chechnya, as well as Russian and Soviet-era campaigns in Afghanistan, Georgia and Syria.
