Putin 'miscalculated' Russia's ability to occupy Ukraine

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday he believes his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is a normally rational actor who badly misjudged his prospects of occupying Ukraine.

The President spoke out in a rare televised interview as his administration looks for what he has described as an "off-ramp" for Mr Putin to deescalate his invasion of Ukraine before he resorts to weapons of mass destruction.
