The Kremlin said on Friday that the whole world had paid attention to Joe Biden's verbal slips at a NATO summit and said the way the U.S. president had spoken about Russian President Vladimir Putin was unacceptable.
The Kremlin was commenting after Biden misspoke on Thursday, and introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin," before quickly correcting himself. In another slip, Biden mixed up the names of Kamala Harris, his vice-president, and his election opponent Donald Trump.
"We noticed that the whole world paid attention to what happened, and there can be no comment here (from us), but it is clear that these were slips of the tongue," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Ukrainians in Kyiv shared their reactions to Biden's gaffes, with several excusing them due to age.
Biden's stumbling performance in a debate with Trump last month and subsequent further slips have spurred intense debate about his mental fitness, at 81, to run for a second term, and led some Democrats to call for him to stand aside.
