US President Biden: Wasn’t calling for regime change in Russia
|“I wasn’t calling for regime change in Russia,” US President Joe Biden followed up as he tried to de-escalate the tensions with Moscow after he previously said, “For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power."
The White House also tried to placate tensions by saying in a statement, “The President’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change."
It’s worth noting that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also defends US President Biden by saying, “The goal of NATO is not regime change in Russia.”
