Joe Biden calls Vladimir Putin a 'butcher' and says he 'cannot remain in power'.
An off-the-cuff remark at the end of a speech in Poland has the world wondering if the US President had drastically changed his position on regime change in Moscow.
President Biden also called Putin a 'butcher', 'dictator' and 'war criminal', in his toughest language yet since the Russian president began his invasion of Ukraine.
But the White House quickly tried to clarify the remarks, saying the US was not advocating regime change. Joe Biden spoke at Warsaw's Royal Castle and also visited a stadium where large numbers of Ukrainian refugees are being looked after.
Earlier, in a show of unity with Western allies, Biden held talks with EU, NATO and G7 leaders in Brussels.
