Days After Biden Hailed NATO As "More United Than Ever", A Split Emerges Over Talking To Putin

Recall that Biden in Brussels just days ago hailing a NATO that's "More united than ever"... as France24 and others reported: "Russian President Vladimir Putin had banked on NATO being split when he launched an invasion of Ukraine last month, but Putin actually sparked the exact opposite, with the alliance now being more united than ever, US President Joe Biden said at a NATO-G7 summit in Brussels on Thursday."

Macron, it should be remembered, was the first to criticize Biden over the US president's remarks suggesting US policy is now regime change in Russia.

Putin has reportedly set a deadline for days away....Prepare to switch to rubles for natural gas exports by March 31, Vladimir Putin tells Gazprom and Russia's central bank https://t.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said he would like an all for all prisoner exchange with Russia and that they have handed over a list to Russia.

US President Biden said NATO is a defensive alliance and it has never sought Russia's demise and that "Swift and punishing" costs are the only things that will influence Russia to change course.

Biden added that US forces are in Europe to defend NATO allies, not to engage with Russian forces and stated that Russian President Putin cannot remain in power, although Biden later said that he was not calling for a regime change in Russia.

White House official said President Biden was not calling for a change of regime in Russia and the US envoy to NATO also commented that the US does not have a policy of regime change in Russia.
