In yet another awkward contradiction out of this US administration concerning Ukraine, which at this point seems to come almost daily, the head of US European Command was forced to issue a contrary explanation after Biden on Monday said multiple times that US forces are "helping train" Ukrainian troops in Poland.

This triggered a rebuttal of the US Commander-in-Chief from Gen. Tod Wolters, who also serves as NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe. On Tuesday Gen. Wolters denied that the US is currently training Ukraine forces in Poland.

"I do not believe that we are in the process of currently training military forces from Ukraine in Poland," the top general told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

Mark,

What Biden accidentally said was not just that the troops would see Ukrainians, but that they would see Ukrainian citizens in Ukraine, resisting Russian tanks.

Not that they would see something in Poland, as you apparently heard.

His attempted walkback seemed to be based on the hope that viewers hadn't noticed what he said.
