According to NBC on Thursday, the US President is less than satisfied with the rhetoric of his cabinet members, the secretaries of defense and state Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin.

According to the report, Biden recently conducted a conference call with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who officially stated that the US wants Ukraine to not only defend itself but also win the battle with Russia.

According to individuals acquainted with the conference call, the US President was dissatisfied with the two cabinet ministers' declared attitude on behalf of the US government.

Biden claimed they went too far, noting that such statements may generate unreasonable expectations and raise the possibility of a direct war between the US and Russia, and asked them to tone it down.

The report says that the US President's unhappiness reflects an assumption that the conflict in Ukraine would shift direction and become a protracted crisis in which Russia will continue to earn tiny but steady successes.

Some US officials are concerned about the conflict's conclusion and have begun pressing Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy to modify his stance that Ukraine would never lose any land to Russia as part of a deal to stop the war, according to the source.

However, the Biden administration emphasizes that only Kiev can and must make all choices, confirming it does not press Ukraine in any direction, according to the source.
