WARSAW, Poland — President Joe Biden said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin made a “big mistake” byin the last remaining U.S.-Russia nuclear arms control treaty. The U.S. president was in Poland to reassure eastern flank NATO allies that the U.S. will remain by their sides amid the grinding Russian invasion of Ukraine.
