Presumably, the remark of the South Korean leader had to do with Biden's assurance to contribute $6 billion to the budget of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, but such a decision would require the approval of the US President by Congress.
At the same time, South Korean Prime Minister Han Dok-soo noted that no one had heard the exact wording of Seok Yol.
Earlier, Biden said that Ukraine "will never be a victory for Russia" and that the Russian leader "cannot remain in power."
Later, the American president noted that he did not call for a change of power in Russia.
Amos Hoxteen, senior State Department energy security adviser, said Biden's remarks were made "on emotion" and do not reflect official White House policy.
