Biden envisions Ukraine conflict slowing down during winter

[RT] The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is expected to "slow down" in the winter time, US President Joe Biden believes. He made the remarks during a press conference after his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Indonesia on Monday.

Asked how the capture of the city of Kherson by Kiev's forces after the Russian withdrawal might affect the conflict and whether it would "signal a turning point" in the hostilities, Biden hailed the development as a "significant victory for Ukraine." The president also promised not to engage in any negotiations on Ukraine without Kiev participating in them.

"I’ve been very clear that we’re going to continue to provide the capability for the Ukrainian people to defend themselves. And we are not going to engage in any negotiation. There’s no – nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine," Biden said, adding that any negotiations with Moscow was a "decision for Ukraine to make."
