Biden introduced him as 'President Putin', Zelensky's epic

U.S. President and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden made a new gaffe at the last news conference.

Announcing the deal that would bring NATO countries together to support Ukraine, Biden wanted to leave the microphone to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and in that case introduced him as "President Putin."

A video showing Zelensky's reaction to Biden's announcement has gone viral on social media.

Ukraine's president nodded before the 81-year-old returned to the microphone and tried to correct the gaffe.

"President Putin? He will defeat President Putin... President Zelensky. I'm very focused on defeating Putin," Biden said.

Later, Zelensky replied "I'm better than him," to which Biden replied "you're much better."
