Political Blunder: U.S. President Mistakenly Calls Ukrainian President by Wrong Name

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his gratitude to the United States for its extensive support in helping Ukraine defend against Russian aggression.

The Ukrainian president downplayed a recent mix-up where U.S. President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Zelenskyy as Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

“It was a mistake,” Zelenskyy stated to journalists upon his arrival in Ireland on Saturday. “The United States gave a lot of support for Ukrainians — we can forget some mistakes.”

The incident occurred on Thursday when President Biden introduced Zelenskyy as “President Putin” before a speech at the NATO summit in Washington.
