Joe Biden, who is set hold a presidency saving ‘big boy’ press conference Thursday evening, introduced “President Putin” at a NATO meeting in Washington, D.C. a few minutes ago when he was supposed to introduce Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Biden: “And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.”
A reporter posted the room “gasped” at Biden’s gaffe.

Reuters reporter Jeff Mason, “The room gasped”:
.@POTUS mistakenly refers to President Zelenskiy as “President Putin” before correcting himself at NATO event. (The room gasped.)

Zelensky led Biden off stage at the end of the event:
After arriving more than an hour late, slurring incoherently in remarks stretching just a few minutes, and referring to Zelensky as “President Putin,” Biden shuffles off stage.
