Biden suggested that Putin may have fired or put some of his advisers 'under house arrest” when asked how misinformed the Russian leader is about his military’s performance in Ukraine
President Joe Biden on Thursday offered a notable assessment of the state of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle of advisers, suggesting the Russian leader has “fired or put under house arrest” some of his confidants.
“There’s a lot of speculation, but he seems to be — I’m not saying this with a certainty — he seems to be self-isolating, and there’s some indication that he has fired or put under house arrest some of his advisers,” Biden said. “But I don’t want to put too much stock in that at this time because we don’t have that much hard evidence.”
The president’s comments followed the release of U.S. and U.K. intelligence reports on Wednesday that determined Putin’s advisers have lied to him about the performance of Russian forces as his country’s military attack on Ukraine falters. The recently declassified findings indicated that Putin was now aware of the information gap, but that there was lingering tension between him and his senior military officials.
The most recent declassification of intelligence is part of the U.S. strategy to unearth and make public Putin’s potential war plans — drawing attention to Ukraine and encouraging allies to act in lockstep as they punish Russia. The new information came after the White House expressed doubt about Russia’s announcement that it would pull back forces around Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, in an attempt to increase trust among Ukrainian and Russian officials in ongoing talks.
