The White House has since corrected the president and said that regime change is not the official policy, the second time they had to correct him in as many days.
Biden’s assertion that Putin is a “butcher” who “cannot remain in power” drew widespread concern and anger across the globe.
On Sunday, when asked about Biden’s remarks, Macron stopped just short of outright condemning him.
BREAKING:
Macron is criticizing Biden for calling Putin “a butcher”. The French president says it’s not constructive.
“I would not use that kind of language. If a ceasefire is to be brokered, we must not escalate — neither through words nor actions.” https://t.co/REzBTzJWc5

Speaking to France 3, Macron said that his goal is “achieving first a ceasefire and then the total withdrawal of [Russian] troops by diplomatic means.”
“If we want to do that, we can’t escalate, either in words or actions,” Macron asserted.
Macron stressed that while the US is a vital ally, and share many “common values”, it is the Europeans who live next to Russia.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov also responded to Biden’s unplanned commentary by noting that the president cannot seem to control his temper or emotions.
“A national leader has to keep a cool head,” Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said, adding that “personal insults narrow the window” for diplomacy.
Vyacheslav Volodin, president of the lower house of parliament, added that “Biden is weak, sick and unhappy.”

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
