Blinken: U.S. has no strategy for regime change in Russia

• The president meant that “Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else,” Blinken said during a press conference in Jerusalem.

What he's saying: “We do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia, or anywhere else for that matter,” Blinken said.

• “In this case, as in any case, it’s up to the people of the country in question. It’s up to the Russian people,” the secretary added.

The big picture: Biden's speech came on the last day of the president's trip to Europe, where he met with NATO allies and European Union leaders to offer support for Ukraine one month after Russia began its invasion.
