The report said that officials have discovered \u201cnew weaponry\u201d on the Russian-backed side and Russian negotiators have warned that peace talks might be breaking down. The report said that both the Russian and Ukrainian side acknowledged that tensions had rapidly escalated.<\/p>\n<p>The escalation comes after Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a killer during an interview with ABC News last month, angering Putin. The report noted that Biden emphasized Ukrainian sovereignty during his January phone call with Putin, but has failed to schedule a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n<p>The report added:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>This week, Gen. Tod D. Wolters, the head of U.S. European Command, raised the American military\u2019s watch level for the second time in several days after Russian troops failed to leave Ukraine\u2019s border region. American strategists had expected the troops to depart the area, about 30 miles from Ukraine\u2019s border, after the conclusion of a military exercise on March 23. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The latest violence in eastern Ukraine and the troop buildup could well be a way for Moscow to measure the Biden administration\u2019s commitment to Ukraine, according to current and former officials.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis could be posturing, but the Kremlin is testing the new administration,\u201d said Frederick B. Hodges, a retired lieutenant general and a former top U.S. Army commander in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Russia isn\u2019t the only adversary that is testing the Biden administration; in fact, many of America\u2019s enemies have appeared more aggressive in recent weeks, something that critics have said is a result of America\u2019s adversaries viewing Biden as weak.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, Taiwan reported that largest-ever incursion of Chinese military aircraft entering Taiwanese airspace. Sources <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-taiwna-china-security\/taiwan-reports-largest-ever-incursion-by-chinese-air-force-idUSKBN2BI24D\">told<\/a> Reuters that \u201cthe Chinese military was conducting exercises that would simulate an operation against U.S. warships that sail through the Bashi Channel.\u201d China again invaded Taiwanese airspace this week and also flew into Japanese airspace. The Financial Times reported this week that the U.S. officials are preparing for China to invade Taiwan, which could drag the United States into a war.<\/p>\n<p>Iran just <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/wang-yi-iran-iran-nuclear-middle-east-china-e7b4ef7707296a07a18517a32d644faa\">signed<\/a> a new cooperation agreement with China and Biden is reportedly losing leverage over Iran, \u201cstruggling just to get the Iranians to the table\u201d in his attempts to relaunch the Iran nuclear deal, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/29\/us-biden-iran-nuclear-deal-478354\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-56391445\">signaled<\/a> that they have no interest in even talking to the Biden administration as officials have detected that North Korea has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/why-is-north-korea-testing-weapons-again\/a-57050693\">restarted<\/a> weapons testing again.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
