President Joe Biden was reportedly unhappy with his Defense and Secretary of State secretaries earlier this year after they publicly stated the US wanted Ukraine to defeat Russia in its brutal invasion that began months before. Biden expressed his disapproval in a conference call with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin following the pair’s visit in April to Kyiv, multiple administration officials familiar with the conversation told NBC News. During the trip where they met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Austin told reporters, “Ukraine clearly believes that it can win, and so does everyone here.”
