President Biden on Saturday said that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power," as he declared the Russian invasion of Ukraine a "strategic failure" while pledging continued support for the embattled Ukrainian people. But shortly after Biden explicitly called for Putin’s removal, the White House denied that Biden was calling for regime change.

Still, Biden wished to speak directly to the Russian people who oppose Putin’s invasion, that Putin can and must end this war, and that the American people stand with them.
