Joe Biden referred to Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” in front of almost two dozen world leaders on Thursday night, in a significant gaffe that will worsen the crisis engulfing his presidency.

    The US president, who is facing calls to stand down over concerns about his age, confused the Ukrainian president with the Russian leader in a speech at the Nato summit in Washington DC.

    Mr Biden spoke for several minutes about the importance of protecting Ukraine from Russian aggression, before turning to Mr Zelensky and introducing him by the wrong name.

    “Now, I want to hand over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination,” he said. “Ladies and gentlemen: President Putin.”

    Mr Biden was reading from a teleprompter when he made the error.

    His second major blunder came just an hour later when the president confused Kamala Harris with Donald Trump.

    1. Its a show and ge us an unwutting actor. They intend to run a poll and it will show him losing against trump and he will graciously bow out to newsom. There will be no elected president nominee by the people on the dems side

    2. Yes, The Telegraph is an embarrassment. I guess they did not understand Biden's answers; they were too above their heads, so they had to pick on one misspoken word, and report it (as if none of them ever mis-spoke; we all know everyone does and will admit it if we are honest). Balanced news reporting. Great job Telegraph! (In case this also went over your head, I'm being sarcastic.)

    3. Mr president what it's allowing me to win this coup it's Pachama. And I don't wan the presidency. I just wan to become and advisor in The House. And freely move around the planet without been noticed so much.

    4. oh god! I'm not American nor living in America. but that's the leader of one of the world's powerful nation. scary// don't show him the big red button.

    5. He's obviously not in charge and that is scary. He needs to step down now but Harris is absolutely horrible. It's been like this forever but liberal news networks never showed the truth.

    6. And now I want to hand it over to the (new) President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination (to get ukraine)," Biden said at the NATO event in Washington, D.C.
      "Ladies and gentlemen — President Putin. Hail President Putin (of russia and ukraine)" Biden said. 🤣
