US President Biden says Russia's withdrawal from Kherson area will allow both sides to recalibrate their positions, but it remains to be seen whether Kiev is prepared to compromise with Moscow, as fighting enters its 260th day Follow our live coverage:👇
Russian forces captured Kherson, with a pre-war population of 280,000, early in periods of fighting, which began on February 24. US President Joe Biden has said Russia's order to evacuate troops from the west bank of the Dnipro River near the Ukrainian city of Kherson showed Moscow was having "real problems" with its military.
Biden told reporters it was interesting that Russia had waited until after the US congressional election to announce the withdrawal. "It's evidence of the fact that they have some real problems with the Russian military," he said. He said the withdrawal would allow both sides to recalibrate their positions over the winter, but it remained to be seen whether Ukraine was prepared to compromise with Russia.
Biden said he expects US aid to Ukraine to continue without interruption despite skepticism expressed by Republicans who appear poised to take control of the House of Representatives.
