White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is warning that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is "far from over," despite the claim by Moscow that they are retreating from Kyiv and surrounding areas.

"I think there's a lot of evidence that Putin is simply taking his troops out of the northern part of the country to redeploy them to the eastern part of the country to relaunch a battle there," Klain said during an exclusive interview with ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Klain said it’s "for Ukraine to decide" what a post-war country looks like when asked about the possibility that Russia overtakes eastern regions of Ukraine, while Ukraine maintains control of the rest.

"I will tell you, as President Zelenskyy has said, that's not acceptable to him, and we are going to support him with military aid, with economic aid, with humanitarian aid," Klain said. "The political future of Ukraine is up for Ukraine to decide."

1. They are just regrouping for more attacks

[C Moon]

2. putin: shut up! not fair...he's telling everybody what we're going to do!

putin is a terrible leader. A failure—just like his US puppet.

[Igel]

5. It's what Putin said he was going to do.

For a while nobody believed him.

"Putin says it, it must be a lie," the thinking went. It's wrong thinking--Putin says it, it might a lie if he finds that useful; it might be the truth if he thinks that's useful. Putin-speak has no ascertainable truth value.

3. a voice of reason

Putin (nor his military) is anywhere near 'spent.' Wishful thinking. (and really wish it were otherwise)

[SunSeeker]

4. Of course Putin is not done.

He won't be done being a murderous psychopath until he is dead.

[erronis]

6. Yup. He's started digging his hole and he won't be finished until he can

take as many "others" along with himself.

Unfortunately, given his mental state, everyone other than himself is becoming an "other".

7. GIVE THEM EVERYTHING WE WOULD USE.

Short of top secret software and such; we do have to keep SOME shit secret.

[gaskinite]

8. Maybe the US could send a couple hundred cruise missiles

Aimed at the Russian army. Of course, they could put a variety of flags on them as a disguise.

9. Czech Republic knows how to build some good stuff if they get the blueprints

Just sayin'
