Escalation in the war in Ukraine is 'appallingly possible', Andrew Marr has warned, after Russia blamed the US for an alleged attempt on Vladimir Putin's life
Andrew said: "This is, so far, only verbal, thank God: but there is certainly a war of words going on today within the United States and Russia over the alleged assassination attempt in Moscow against President Putin.
"To which John Kirby, spokesman for the United States national Security Council replied: 'We had nothing to do with this. Peskov is just lying there, pure and simple.' "Why does this matter? Because, with a major spring offensive supposedly just about to happen against the Russian forces, the mood in Moscow is becoming much angrier and more belligerent, not just against Kyiv but against Washington too.
