Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a huge mistake while giving a speech in Warsaw, Poland.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Trudeau said: “Russia must win the war.”
The Prime Minister of Canada quickly noticed his mistake and said: “Sorry, Ukraine must win this war against Russia.”
He watches:
Trudeau: “We are advancing in every possible way because we know that Russia must win this war…. “Oh, oh, sorry.”

Per WION:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau embarrassed himself on Monday (February 26) when he said, “Russia must win the war,” during a speech in Warsaw, Poland. However, he immediately corrected himself and said he meant to say “Ukraine must win this war against Russia.” Despite the apology, users on social media were unresponsive and criticized the Canadian leader for “speaking from his heart.”
We know that Russia must win this war. Sorry, Ukraine must win this war against Russia,” the Canadian Prime Minister said, while immediately correcting his inadvertent error.
Trudeau's misstep came while he was standing next to his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk, during a press conference in the Polish capital. The clip has now spread widely on the Internet, and has become ammunition for his opponents at home and abroad.
Despite correcting himself, the Toronto Sun and several Channel X users compared Trudeau to Biden.

Trudeau's blunder comes just days after the Prime Minister arrived in Kiev and signed a new security agreement with Ukraine.
