Biden calls Ukraine President Zelenskyy ‘President Putin’ at NATO summit

President Joe Biden’s blunders just keep on coming.

Ahead of a massive press conference Thursday evening, Biden mistakenly called Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy his Russian war adversary “President Putin.”

“And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen: President Putin,” Biden said in the flub going viral.

Biden then corrected himself amid a round of applause.

“President Putin? We’re gonna beat President Putin,” Biden said. “President Zelenskyy. I’m so focused on beating Putin, we got to worry about it. Anyway, Mr. President.”

Zelenskyy then responded, “I’m better.”

“You are a helluva lot better,” Biden responded.
