The American president called the Russians' statement about retreat expected.
President of the USA Joseph Biden reacted to the statement of the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Shoigu about the withdrawal of units of the Russian army from the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. In his opinion, such a statement is expected and is a confirmation that the Russian army has big problems. He made such a statement on November 9 during a press conference following the results of the mid-term elections to the Congress.
Journalists asked Biden whether this will be a turning point in Russia's war against Ukraine.
“First of all, I find it interesting that they waited with this decision until after the elections (before the US Congress – ed.). And we knew for a long time that they would approve it. And this decision proves the fact that the Russian army has real problems,” said Biden.
He also answered the question whether this will give Ukraine leverage to start negotiations with Russia.
“This will give everyone time to rebuild their positions for the winter period. And it remains to be seen whether or not Ukraine is ready to compromise with Russia,” the US president noted.
