State Department Gaffe, Ukraine Strategic Failure Slip
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller twice accidentally referred to the war in Ukraine as a "strategic failure for Ukraine" before correcting himself to say "Russia." The gaffe occurred during a press briefing and was highlighted by veteran reporter Matt Lee. The slip is interpreted by some as a reveal of the internal assessment within the State Department.
