WASHINGTON — President Biden ripped Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “craven lust” for Ukrainian land in Poland’s capital Tuesday — but refrained fromrepeating his call for Putin’s ousterahead of the Friday anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Biden stunned his own staff nearly 11 months ago when he said at the same venue that theRussian leader “cannot remain in power,” prompting an aide to quickly insist Biden “was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia” — though Biden later insisted he stood by his words.
