The White House has been thrown into chaos after Joe Biden declared that Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power'.
Mr Biden stood firm on Nato's response if Russia moved a "single inch" into its territory, saying "swift and punishing costs" were the only way to make Moscow change course.
"Whatever your generation experienced, whether it experienced the siege of Leningrad, whether you heard it from your parents or grandparents, train stations overflowing with terrified families fleeing their homes... these are not memories of the past - not any more, it's exactly what the Russian army is doing in Ukraine right now."
However, Russia's attack moved further west in Ukraine on Saturday, with several missile strikes reported in the city of Lviv. Five people were injured, officials said.
