In a verbal slip-up US President Joe Biden says Russian President Vladimir Putin was 'losing the war in Iraq' when he meant to say Ukraine.
MOSCOW, Russia – The Kremlin said on Thursday, June 29, it hoped that U.S. President Joe Biden had meant to say Ukraine rather than Iraq when he made a verbal slip-up on Wednesday.
Asked to comment on Biden’s slip-up, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “We are interested in this, we are monitoring the situation very carefully and we hope that Mr. President had Ukraine in mind during yesterday’s statement,” Peskov told a news briefing.Speaking to reporters in Washington, Biden was asked if Putin had been weakened by a brief uprising last Saturday led by a Russian mercenary chief whose forces had been fighting in Ukraine.
It was his second slip-up in 24 hours. On Tuesday night, Biden corrected himself at a campaign fundraising event – referring to China when he meant India, whose prime minister, Narendra Modi, visited the White House a week ago.
