Biden reaction: Blinken walks back Biden's Putin 'cannot remain in power' statement. Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem on Sunday, Blinken explained that his boss was likely referring to Putin's influence outside of his country -- including Moscow's bloody and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine which has now spanned over a month. Biden went directly after the Russian autocrat in an emotional speech on Saturday, warning if Putin's ambitions went unchecked it could lead to decades of war in Europe. 'I think the president, the White House, made the point last night that, quite simply, President Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else,' Blinken said according to multiple reports.
