REUTERS\/Aleksandra Szmigiel\/File Photo<\/div>\n<p>March 27, 2022<\/p>\n<p>By Phil Stewart and Brendan O\u2019Brien<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. envoy to NATO said on Sunday that the United States does not have a policy of regime change in Russia, in the latest effort to clarify President Joe Biden\u2019s statement that Russian President Vladimir Putin \u201ccannot remain in power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julianne Smith sought to contextualize Biden\u2019s remarks in Poland on Saturday, saying they followed a day of speaking with Ukrainian refugees. Russia\u2019s month-old invasion has driven a quarter of Ukraine\u2019s population of 44 million from their homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the moment, I think that was a principled human reaction to the stories that he had heard that day,\u201d Smith told CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d program before adding: \u201cThe U.S. does not have a policy of regime change in Russia. Full stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s comments in Poland also included a statement earlier on Saturday calling Putin a \u201cbutcher,\u201d and appeared to be a sharp escalation of the U.S. approach to Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Senator James Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called Biden\u2019s remarks a \u201chorrendous gaff\u201d and said he wished the president would have stayed on script. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people who don\u2019t deal in the lane of foreign relations don\u2019t realize those nine words that he uttered would cause the kind of eruption that they did,\u201d he told CNN. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to cause a huge problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senator Cory Booker, one of Biden\u2019s fellow Democrats and a  member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told the \u201cMeet the Press\u201d program on NBC News that although regime change was not the U.S. policy, he didn\u2019t see Ukraine\u2019s war ending well for Putin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see a real victory for him. His country is suffering extraordinarily. He is depleting critical resources from his own nation for this awful war. So I just don\u2019t see how this ends well for him,\u201d Booker said.<\/p>\n<p>The United States has avoided direct military involvement in Ukraine, instead joining NATO allies in speeding weapons deliveries to Ukrainian forces to help them thwart Russia\u2019s advance.<\/p>\n<p>After more than four weeks of fighting, Russia has failed to seize any major Ukrainian city and the conflict has killed thousands of people, sent nearly 3.8 million abroad and driven more than half of Ukraine\u2019s children from their homes, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Phil Stewart and Brendan O\u2019Brien; editing by Diane Craft and Paul Simao)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Joe Biden speaks during an event at the Royal Castle, amid Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, in Warsaw, Poland, March 26, 2022.
