'Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin' - Biden gaffe with Ukraine leader
President Biden drew gasps Thursday evening when he introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” — confusing him with the Russian tyrant whose forces have invaded Ukraine for the past two-and-a-half years.
“And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination,” Biden said. “Ladies and gentlemen, President [Vladimir] Putin. “
Many in the auditorium appeared to wince as the words left the president’s lips. One audience member shouted, “Zelensky!” in an attempt to correct the 81-year-old Biden.
