Biden wraps European trip, declares Putin's "already lost that war" in Ukraine

Helsinki, Finland— President Biden on Thursday declared that Russian President Vladimir Putin "has already lost the war" in Ukraine.

Mr. Biden was wrapping a four-day long European trip which included the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, where the alliance reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine. But as Mr. Biden celebrated Finland's new membership and Sweden's likely ascension into NATO, he and the rest of NATO remained emphatic on denying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request to join the alliance.

"Putin has a real problem, how does he move from here? What does he do?" Mr. Biden said when asked about the timeline of the war. "There is no possibility of him winning the war in Ukraine."
