In verbal slip, US President says Putin losing war in Iraq'
Deccan ChronicleWashington DC: US President Joe Biden in a verbal slip on Wednesday said Russian President Vladimir Putin "is clearly losing the war in Iraq," instead of saying Ukraine. Recently, the US Department of Defence has announced an additional security assistance package, valued at up to USD 500 million, for Ukraine to meet its "critical security and defence needs." The security package includes crucial capabilities to aid Ukraine's counteroffensive operations in its ongoing conflict with Russia and to strengthen its air defences. On Tuesday, at least four people, including a child, were killed and several others were injured when a Russian missile struck a bustling location in the middle of Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine, reported CNN citing local authorities.
