The NATO summit in Madrid was not short on headlines, but Biden's new gaffes still managed to add more into the mix, as the US President committed a number of mistakes that have had journalistic circles buzzing.

Announcing his support for Ukraine during the Madrid summit, the US President said the United States will "stick by Ukraine" in order to make sure that they are not defeated by "Ukrainians".

We will be with the #Ukrainians to make sure that the #Ukrainians will not defeat them. That is, that the #Russians will not win — Biden.#Sweden - #Switzerland, #Russians - #Ukrainians. What a difference!#Biden #NATO #NATOSummit #USA #US #UnitedStates #AMERICA pic.twitter.com/4vWzrCPzC7

Moscow said, on Wednesday, that the NATO summit in Madrid demonstrated the alliance's desire to contain Russia, and that Finland and Sweden's NATO bids were "destabilizing."

On his account, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said as quoted by Russian news agencies that "the summit in Madrid confirms and consolidates this bloc's policy of aggressive containment of Russia."

"We consider the expansion of the North Atlantic alliance to be a purely destabilizing factor in international affairs”, he added.
