American leader Joe Biden "gave the green light" to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin when the United States withdrew its troops from Afghanistan. This statement was made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican Party).
McConnell again publicly criticised Biden
The American senator admits that he considers the troop withdrawal one of Biden's mistakes, given what it "showed on” the international playing field."
We kept the lid on terrorism there. We shouldn’t have drawn the troops. When we did, that was like sending a green light to Putin, who was already thinking seriously about moving his troops up against the border.

Moreover, the senator reminded that Biden's mandate is to deliver "a sufficient number of weapons quickly enough" to Ukraine.
According to him, the US's lack of haste led to the fact that Ukraine lost another part of its territories under the onslaught of the Russian army.
So, the administration did make a number of mistakes. But at least at this point, after a long delay, we’ve all come together and done what is needed to be done to help the Ukrainians. And you know, this is a huge issue to the whole world, concluded Mitch McConnell.
