President Joe Biden can "go back to sleep" now after turning to influential TikTokers to solve the Ukraine-Russia crisis, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean.

The White House held a zoom briefing for 30 popular internet figures, who then took to their social media profiles to talk about what they had been briefed on – that soaring inflation was due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

One of the influencers was TikToker Ellie Zeiler – an 18-year-old girl with more than 10 million followers – who posted a video explaining why gas prices were so high, blaming it on Mr Putin's war with Ukraine.

"Well problem solved – she can take care of everything," Mr Dean said.

"Biden can go back to sleep."
