Biden's Slip-Up: Accidental Name Mix-Up

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy commented on U.S. President Joe Biden accidentally calling him Russian President Vladimir Putin at a NATO summit. Zelenskiy downplayed the mistake, citing the extensive support the U.S. has provided to Ukraine and expressing a willingness to move past the error.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy addressed a minor mishap by U.S. President Joe Biden, who mistakenly referred to Zelenskiy as Russian President Vladimir Putin during a NATO summit in Washington.

Biden quickly corrected the mistake just two seconds later, but the error was noted by many. Zelenskiy, however, expressed understanding and emphasized the significant support Ukraine has received from the United States.

Speaking at Ireland's Shannon airport, Zelenskiy remarked, 'It's a mistake. I think United States gave a lot of support for Ukrainians. We can forget some mistakes, I think so,' during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris.
