On March 25, 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden was speaking to U.S. troops in Poland about Russia's invasion of Ukraine and said the words: And you're gonna see when you're there. The Kyiv Independent, an English-language news organization in Ukraine, tweeted that it was an apparent gaffe. A video of the moment in question was posted to Twitter: We transcribed the portion of Biden's remarks seen in the video: The last part of what Biden said in the video referred to Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. secretary of state, who had recently died. According to The Associated Press, Biden's remarks were delivered in front of U.S. troops who were stationed in Poland near the border with Ukraine. They were there to assist with the humanitarian emergency and to bolster the U.S. military presence on the eastern flank of NATO: According to Andrew Feinberg with The Independent, the White House responded to questions about Biden's Ukraine remarks, saying: The President has been clear we are not sending U.S. troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position. We reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for further clarification on Biden's Ukraine remarks to U.S. troops and will update this story should we receive a response.
