Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova trolled the US president on Friday Joe Biden for calling Zelensky “Putin”.

“Biden at NATO summit: “I give the floor to the President of Ukraine, who has both courage and determination – ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.” It seems to me that the infamous “Russian meddling in the US election” can no longer hide – there is a pro-Russian candidate which is controlled by the “Kremlin hand”. We await Hillary Clinton’s hysteria over the “assault on American democracy” and the State Department’s report exposing a conspiracy of “domestic terrorists” she quipped on her X account.

The president of Ukraine was shocked when he heard him Joe Biden to address him as “President Putin” in the context of the NATO Summit in Washington.

In particular, Biden yesterday Thursday announced from the podium of the Synod “President Putin” – meaning not the Russian president of course, but the head of the Ukrainian state Volodymyr Zelensky.

“And now I will give the floor to the president of Ukraine, who has both courage and determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin,” said the US president, 81, who realized the mistake seconds later and returned to the microphone to declare: “…he’s going to beat President Putin. President Zelensky! I’m so focused on defeating Putin.”

Meanwhile, cameras captured Zelensky first looking dumbfounded, then nodding condescendingly, before taking the stage.
