Biden's Mental Condition Raises Concerns at NATO Summit

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claimed that U.S. President Joe Biden's mental state was a major topic at the NATO summit, accusing the U.S. 'deep state' and media of concealing his true condition. Zakharova's comments followed Biden's recent verbal gaffe involving Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

In a striking statement, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asserted on Friday that U.S. President Joe Biden's mental fitness had become the central issue of this week's NATO summit.

Zakharova criticized the U.S. 'deep state' and media for allegedly concealing Biden’s true condition from the public, arguing that efforts to depict him as competent had only exacerbated the situation.

The comments came after an incident on Thursday when Biden mistakenly referred to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as 'President Putin' before quickly correcting himself.
