Gen. Tod Wolters, the head of U.S. European Command, contradicted President JoeBiden’s claim that the military is training Ukrainian forces in nearby Poland.
Biden, who misspoke over the weekend telling troops that they’d be going to Ukraine, sought to clarify those remarks on Monday while discussing his new budget request but only added to the confusion.“We’re talking about helping train the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland,” the president said, later adding, “I was referring to being with, and talking with, the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland.
“I do not believe we are in the process of currently training military forces from Ukraine in Poland,” he said. “There are liaisons that are there that are being given advice, and that’s different than I think you’re referring to with respect to training.” The president was defending statements he made in Europe, which included a handful of other comments that the White House had to clear up afterwards. He said,"For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power," which set off a flurry of damage control efforts from others within the administration. An official clarified that he was not discussing"regime change."Biden reiterated his stance to reporters at the White House on Monday.
