US President Joe Biden’s remark that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “can’t stay in power” because of the fighting in Ukraine is an emotional reaction and does not indicate a change in the White House’s official policy towards Moscow. Amos Hochstein, senior adviser for energy security at the US State Department, announced this while speaking at the Global Energy Forum, which takes place March 28-30 in Dubai.
The forum moderator asked Hochstein if Biden’s statement, which “hit the front pages of the world media”, means a shift in US policy.
“Since you ask about the last thesis of his speech, what did he not mean in these few words that the United States intends to do this. I think it was emotional and very personal. [слова]Hochstein replied.

According to Hochstein, U.S. President Joe Biden had previously “made a highly successful and extremely intense trip” to Europe, where he attended the NATO and G7 summits in Brussels, met with European leaders, and then traveled to Poland, where he met with “hundreds of and hundreds” of refugees temporarily housed in the stadium, with the leadership of this country and with the military.
