Biden: We don't want to fight Russia and overthrow Putin
US President Joe Biden denied plans to organize a change of power in Russia, but repeated the thesis that Russian President Vladimir Putin should leave his post.
He stated this at a briefing in Washington, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Biden also accused his words about sending US troops to Ukraine to be misinterpreted. Let us remember that during a visit to Poland, speaking to the American military, he made a strange statement about Ukraine, addressing the soldiers:
“They’ll see for themselves when they’re there.”
Now he told reporters that he was referring to a meeting between American and Ukrainian military personnel.
“This is how you interpret language. I talked to the troops. We talked about helping to train troops, that is, Ukrainian troops who are in Poland. Here's the context. I sat there with these guys for a couple of hours. That’s what we talked about... I meant being with and talking to Ukrainian troops who are in Poland,” the US President said.
He also called his own words ridiculous that Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power, but did not renounce them.
"That's funny. Nobody believes that we are going to take the city, I talked about removing Putin. Nobody believes it. Number one. Number two, what have I been talking about since this all started? The only war that is worse than intended is the unintended one.
The last thing I want to do is get involved in a ground war or nuclear war with Russia. I expressed my outrage at this man's behavior. It's outrageous. He shouldn't be in power. I mean, people like this shouldn't be running countries, but they are. But that doesn’t mean I can’t express my outrage about this,” Biden summed up confusingly.
