We’re covering addresses by President Biden and Vladimir Putin, and Poland’s new geopolitical clout. President Biden called on the world to stand up to Vladimir Putin and other “tyrants.”Doug Mills/The New York Times Dueling speeches from Biden and Putin President Biden and Vladimir Putin, the leaders of the U.S. and Russia, [laid out radically different visions for Ukraine’s future yesterday](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl2Dp4P0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMi8yMS93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvYmlkZW4tcHV0aW4tcnVzc2lhLXVrcmFpbmUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzAyMjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODU5ODUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI1OTU5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpj4Xi19WNA_RvMUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), offering contrasting narratives about who is to blame for the bloody, yearlong war. They seemed to agree on only one point: The conflict is nowhere near an end. Biden repeatedly blamed Putin for dragging Europe back to brutality and warfare on a scale not seen since World War II. He accused the Russian leader of wide-ranging atrocities and called on the world to stand up to him and other “tyrants.” Putin blamed the U.S. and its allies for turning the conflict into a “global confrontation.” He announced a suspension of Russia’s participation in its last remaining nuclear treaty with America. The speeches came as many European leaders were wondering whether they would be able to sustain the current level of spending on arms, government support and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Biden has vowed that the U.S. and its NATO allies will remain steadfast. “Our support for Ukraine will not waver, NATO will not be divided, and we will not tire,” he said. Analysis: The suspension of Russia’s participation in the New START nuclear treaty is the latest sign that [the decades-long era of formal arms control](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl2Dp4P0T5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMi8yMS93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvcHV0aW4tbmV3LXN0YXJ0LXRyZWF0eS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIzMDIyMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04NTk4NSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjU5NTkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmPheLX1Y0D9G8xSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) may be dying, writes David E.

Speaking yesterday, Biden hailed Poland as “one of our great allies.” In the last year, Germany has ditched its previously Moscow-friendly policies and its heavy dependence on Russian natural gas. At the same time, Poland has become a hub for Western weapons flowing into Ukraine, a shelter for millions of Ukrainian refugees and a driving force behind European sanctions against Russia. Poland, which joined NATO in 1999 and the E.U. in 2014, appreciates being “listened to more and more,” the Polish prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said. Before the invasion of Ukraine, he added, Warsaw’s insistent warnings about the threat posed by Moscow and by Europe’s reliance on its energy supplies “were only sort of half heard.” Domestic difficulties: Some foreign policy experts worry that Poland might not be entirely ready for prime time, citing long-running disputes between Poland’s right-wing governing party, Law and Justice, and the E.U. Related: China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, has been on a high-stakes tour of Europe in an urgent bid to revive his country’s economy and to find common ground with some of Washington’s staunchest allies in the region.

A powerful new quake on Monday complicated their task, sending rescuers rushing to newly collapsed buildings where tenants had returned. At the height of relief efforts in Turkey, nearly 12,000 international rescue workers fanned out across a zone that stretched for 250 miles. Some of those crews have already left. Others kicked back into action on Monday as more buildings collapsed and at least six people were killed in Turkey. Coming in the wake of thousands of aftershocks over the past two weeks, Monday night’s quake also shifted mounds of rubble that were still to be searched. Much of the rescue effort is now focused on Antakya. Response: Many families have expressed anger at the Turkish government’s response and its rescue effort, which have been criticized as slow and haphazard. Some waited for days outside crumpled buildings before any rescuers arrived. Weeks later, that anger appears to have evolved into quiet desperation.
