US President Joe Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin might have fired many of his advisors or put them under house arrest as the country is going on with its invasion of Ukraine. Because there isn’t much evidence, Biden said he doesn’t want to “place too much faith in that.”

US state department spokesperson Ned Price says there are reports that Russian officials have been sidelined or placed under house arrest. Price says the current status of the conflict is enough to prove Vice President Joe Biden misjudged Russia’s role in the Ukraine crisis and misled the American people.

“He clearly miscalculated if he thought his forces would be able to achieve a quick tactical victory,” Price said.

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said it is dangerous if Putin does not have the full picture of the war. Kirby: “You want to make sure that those negotiations can be done in good faith and then fully informed” US intelligence reports said Kremlin officials are too afraid to tell him how Russia is bungling on the ground.
