‘Arming Russia’: Biden fumbles in speech about preparing Ukraine for attack

Sky News host Rita Panahi says she is “completely lost” after President Joe Biden explained what his administration did to prepare Ukraine before it was attacked – involving Javelins and “arming Russia”.

“Before Russia attacked, we made sure Russia had Javelins and other weapons to strengthen the defences so Ukraine was ready for whatever happened,” Mr Biden said.

The White House transcript showed an amendment to the president’s remarks, replacing the second mention of Russia with the word Ukraine.
