Biden calls Zelensky 'Vladimir' during NATO remarks in latest gaffe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- President Biden on Wednesday referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “Vladimir,” apparently confusing him for the Russian leader and US and Ukrainian adversary.
The 80-year-old president’s latest gaffe came during his remarks at the annual NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, one day after Zelensky bristled at Ukraine not being extended an invitation to join the North Atlantic alliance.
“Vladimir and I … I shouldn’t be so familiar,” Biden said during a press conference in the Lithuanian capital, appearing to catch himself seconds after the blunder.
“Mr. Zelensky and I talked about the kind of guarantees we could make in the meantime when I was in Ukraine and when we met in other places.,” he corrected himself as he stood feet from the Ukrainian leader.
The official White House transcript, which is usually scrupulous about picking up Biden’s misstatements, didn’t do so this time, and incorrectly notes that the commander-in-chief said, “Volodymyr.”
“Volodymyr” and “Vladimir” are different variants of the same name. They both mean, “ruler of the world,” or “ruler of peace,” however, “Volodymyr” is the more widely used version of the name in Ukraine.
Biden has previously made numerous misstatements related to the war-torn former Soviet state.

If Biden ever refers to Karine Jean-Pierre as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I’ll die a happy man.
🤣
If 100 of us say it, maybe it will happen. Biden seems highly suggestable. 😂
Thanks for the chuckle...😆😅🤣😂😅😆
Weren’t they the same?
😂😂😂😂😂 bruh
They call him a gaffe machine? Man, he's a whole factory.
That right, you know the thing 🤭
Do you want me to post some of the completely nonsensical legitimately crazy sounding Trump speeches here for you?
Let me guess you didn't ever speak about those did you, fascist?
No, no, of course not.
I'd like to see you accomplish what a President has to accomplish every day. I give Biden credit for having the energy to do the job of President. Trump looks like a dried up clown with five pounds of make-up on his face, such an embarrassment.
An industry!
😂
At least he didnt call him Voldemort.
Under rated😂
Voldemort the blood sucker 🙃
We all can wish
I'd pay to see that happen lolol
I thought that was his name 🤷🏻♂️
Who is back here after he called Zelensky Putin?
Yup lol.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he calls his son Donald every now and then.
Zelensky's first name is volodymyr

The US has no nursing homes or something?
Oh leave him alone..He's beginning to grow on me. LOL. The longer he is President, the longer he stays angry the more geo politically damaging he becomes as if it already isn't. Vote Biden!!!

"Tell Vlad I'll have more flexibility in my second term." - Barack Obama

THAT was when Obama’s treason became apparent and undeniable and when I realized that US officials committing treason will never face any punishment while whistleblowers are considered traitors and rot in jail. Treason used to be an executable offence. Shows this world is a Satanic inversion.
Most forgot he said that
I remember that on an open mic.
"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius. Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine -- of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful."
Long live the queen!
Vladimir and Volodimir are exactly the same name, it's just the Ukrainian variant but Zelensky have called himself Vladimir several times before, actually he didn't learn Ukrainian until his political carrer started, his Ukrainian pronunciation is average at best so its pretty normal for him to use Vladimir instead of Volodimir.
Exactly
bro its biden. i can believe this to be misspoken incident for anyone else but for joe biden? hes been a living corpse for quite some time now that he already shown all the criteria to be put in old people housing.
Yeah but Biden doesn't know that..
1. People next to him surprised.
2. He never said like this in any other event.
Well he should its his job to know these things @drewferry3565

He has enough of our money for plastic surgery!
At least he didn’t call him Tim Apple.
Everyone made fun of Bush when he got everyone’s names wrong. Can we all not unite in this: no more idiot presidents! We deserve better here! Vote up!
He's not an idiot. He instantly recognized his mistake. Also Zelenski's first name is Volodymyr so, understandable to switch that up with Vladamir when you've been hearing and saying their names so much.
But it was a mistake regardless. And I agree we should have age limits on president candidates if they want to appear on ballots.
@@noahhenderson3164 Dementia acting up again
I’d take someone with a college degree, and no political experience
The President never runs the country. They are all puppets, or they get assassinated by death, or character.
@noahhenderson3164 I can't move on I have to....say it slow and with me:
Vladimir (va lahd deh mere)
Volodymyr (vo lo deh mere)
At best this is disrespectful.
Also he didn't correct himself, correcting himself would have been to acknowledge he said the wrong pronunciation of his name.
"Vladimir" is actually "Volodymir" but in Russian. Zelensky never called himself Volodymir in private life before he Ukrainized himself.
Kinda like calling Michelle Obama, Michael Obama is acceptable? And in English Iraq is really spelled like Ukraine.
@@dustinbarlow1623 You don't understand. It's like calling 'Peter the great' as 'Piotr the great'. Piotr is Peter but in Russian. Do you also call Moscow - Moskva as it is in Russian? So your example fails here.
And Vladimir Zelensky is a native Russian speaker, his parents called him Vladimir, his grandparents called him Vladimir. The only reason he is called 'Wolodymir' in Ukrainian style is to please his Ukrainian nationalists.
Next to this Vladimir is a perfect english translation for Volodymir. See Vladimir the Great who baptized Rus'.
@@vladnikolaev1558 Its like calling Michael, Michelle! Meanwhile in reality two more bags of drugs were admittedly found in 2022 by Secret Service, even the Secret Service is now turning on Biden.

Is this what you cling to? Zelenkskys name is pronounced VLADIMIR you incredible TOOL sheep.

They made the right choice and the world thanks them. The world has realised what a joke the warmongering US has become and realising moving away from their grasp is for their best interest.
His name is literally Volodymyr...
Ironically similar.
His name is Biden Tonto Tonto
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 Like Michelle and Michael are very similar? Ohh your face if they said Michael Obama.
Ladies and Gentlemen Trudeau isnt laughing with Biden he is laughing at him.
Hey dumb dumb. Check this out:
Zelenskyy grew up speaking Russian. At the age of 16 he passed the Test of English as a Foreign Language and received an education grant to study in Israel, but his father did not allow him to go.
Even if Biden had written down his name as Vladimir rather than Volodymyr, he would have been accurate. You people are an embarrassment to our country. You don’t even speak any other languages. I speak six, and am studying my seventh. Zelenskyy learned Ukrainian later on. Russian is his primary language.
He should laugh at himself too clown leader of Canada

Right. Volodymyr sounds like Vladimir when you say it fast or slur a little. What a bunch of nonsense.
@@Chris-zo5ze Dementia acting up again on sleepy joe, tell him he forgot his medicines.
Hahaha. His first names not Vladimir..
@@Sheva9NJ You're right... It's Volodymyr, which to an American is pronounced almost indistinguishably.
Zelensky was Vladimir till 2022. )
I’m here after Biden just called Zelenskyy, Putin
Volodymyr in Ukrainian means Vladimir in Russian. They are essentially the same name. I highly doubt Joe knew that though. Basically, the name Volodymyr is “Old East Slavic in origin which later on became Vladimir in other slavic languages” (wikipedia)
Who cares? It''s not like Biden farted in someone's face.
And Steve really means Mike!
@@dustinbarlow1623 he's right though, Volodymyr is the Ukrainian version of the name Vladimir, just like Mykolaiv, Nikolaev, Kyiv, Kiev, etc. In fact, Zelenskyy's native language is Russian, so if anything he is probably more used to being called Vladimir than Volodymyr.
@@vivianskylaryeaman7255 So did Biden see Francois Mitterand last year too?
Eh it’s close enough. At least he didn’t call him Victor or Mike.
I bet you blamed the wind every time potato head fell up the stairs to fail force one. You probably blamed his staff when he shook hands with imaginary people. Am I right?

How scandalous, it would be like referring to Joe Biden as Joseph
Joe’s had many many many worse gaffs than this. If you think he doesn’t have dementia you’re only fooling yourself
My Grandfather literally has dementia right now and Biden walks and talks just like him
Please do 😂
Or "Brandon".

NO its more like calling her Michael Obama in a speech instead of Michelle, very scandalous! Id love to see the look on your face if that happened.
With a headline like that, it has to be the Post.... What a joke. This is why you'll always be bottom tier.
If this even a gaffe? i'm a russian speaking Ukrainian and call him Vladimir
Single handedly eliminated the dislike button
Maybe he was desperately missing Vladimir?😊
HE DID IT AGAIN
Well, his name is “Volodimir” which is very close to Vladimir. I’m not a fan of Biden whatsoever, but this is not ownage of the man that you might think it is.
Closer to voldomort !! 🤣🤣
I have to agree, and admittedly, I had no clue what his first name is. He's just been "Zelinsnki" to me, but it's Volodymyr Zelenskyy (after checking on Google). 😅
Anyone with two working braincells knows Biden mistaked Zelenski for Vladimir Putin.
@@benjamingage7857..and are one and the same. Conqueror! I think the only issue President Biden raised was etiquette
I think its due to his relentless history of gaffes

And he the news is going wild. What's your point?
@@jeremyfuller7730 yeah but they're taking it lightly tho, almost like it's a joke. If it was Trump they would've had entire segments dedicated to this, coming up with crazy theories and they would spread false rumors like it was candy.
@@soulassassin0g notice how on these Biden vids, you get tons of comments excusing him and many others praising him for being the best ever? And how all these comments kinda read very similar.

Im Lithuanian too. Unfortunately many like Biden because they are afraid of Russia and they want US/NATO protection no matter how demented Biden's brain is
Melina's look of concern says it all!😂😂😂😂
Biden stared at a can of frozen orange juice for over an hour cause it said CONCENTRATE
They are abusing him.
I don't entirely blame him tbh. "Volodymyr" and "Vladimir" sounds exactly alike when spoken in a fast or soft tone.
The Ukraine and Russian President has the same first name. They are both named Vladimir.
His first name is Volodymyr. Guess what, it sounds very much like Vladimir. They come from the same root word. Truly, the sky is falling.
Any pathetic reason to try (and fail once again) to discredit the President once again. I guess they’d rather have the Donald suggesting that we inject bleach into our bodies instead.

Why is calling someone by their first name such a big deal, this is not that bad for biden
Biden corrected himself because he was in front of a formal audience, but he revealed how close he feels to Zelensky by calling him by his first name. I thought it was very warm and comforting to the Ukrainians to know that Biden thinks of Zelensky as a close ally enough to call him by his first name. Biden is amazing.
