(CNN) President Joe Biden on Monday said the atrocities allegedly committed by Russian forces in Bucha, Ukraine, are a "war crime" and called for a trial to take place against Russian President Vladimir Putin. The US President did not, however, label the killings a "genocide" but said he was looking into additional sanctions against Russia. Biden said the images coming from Bucha warranted calling Putin a "war criminal," adding, "but we have to gather the information. We have seen war crimes. We have not seen a level of systemic deprivation of life of the Ukrainian people to rise to the level of genocide," Sullivan said during a White House press briefing.
