US President Joe Biden says he is skeptical that Russia will scale back military operations around the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
Biden told reporters on Thursday that there is no clear evidence that President Vladimir Putin is "pulling all of his forces out of Kyiv".
He said, "Depending on your view of Putin -- I'm a little skeptical."
He also referred to the possibility that Putin is being misinformed about the military operations in Ukraine.
Biden said Putin "seems to be self-isolating" and "there's some indication that he has fired or put under house arrest some of his advisors." But he said the US does not have much hard evidence.
