US President Joe Biden declared forcefully Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin should no longer be the leader of his country.
“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden announced at the very conclusion of a capstone address delivered at the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
According to CNN report, It was the furthest Biden has gone in calling for regime change in Russia, and it reflects a significant change in the American approach to Moscow.
US officials had said previously said removing Putin from power was not their goal.
“For us, it’s not about regime change. The Russian people have to decide who they want to lead them,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said earlier this month.
