U.S. President Biden's remarks that Russian President Vladimir Putin should no longer remain in power are growing in waves.

As the interpretation continued as to whether it was a hint of a regime change in Russia, the White House and the Secretary of State clarified one after another and started to evolve.

Yesterday (27th), the last day of his European tour, US President Biden, who visited Poland, which borders Ukraine, suddenly said something that was not in the manuscript during his speech.



[Biden/President of the United States: We will have a different future, a bright future based on democracy.

Hopefully, Putin should no longer remain in power.]



Interpretations followed that the United States would immediately change the Russian regime.



As the scandal grew as there were even observations that the U.S. military could participate in the war, the White House began to evolve, saying that it did not mean that.



US Secretary of State Blincoln explained that he was not trying to remove Putin from his powers, but that he meant to Putin that he had no power to invade Ukraine.



[Blincoln/Secretary of State: We do not have a regime change strategy in Russia or any other country.

In any case (regime change) is the choice of the people of that country.

It is the choice of the Russian people.]



Some analysts have suggested that President Biden may have made a mistake when Russia bombed the Lviv region, which is close to Poland, just before President Biden's speech in Poland.



In the midst of this, a poll conducted by NBC showed that 74% of Americans said that the US would eventually become involved in the war.



As war concerns spread within the United States, President Biden's approval rating fell to 40%, the lowest level since his inauguration.
