The statement is a paradox. In the world of knights and knaves, knights always tell the truth and knaves always lie.

If A were a knight (always telling the truth), then his statement "We are both knaves" would be a lie, which contradicts the fact that knights always tell the truth. Therefore, A cannot be a knight.

If A were a knave (always lying), then his statement "We are both knaves" would be a truth, because he himself is a knave. But this contradicts the fact that knaves always lie. Therefore, A cannot be a knave either.

Therefore, the statement "A says 'We are both knaves'" is a paradox and cannot exist in the world of knights and knaves.

As for B, since B says nothing, we cannot determine whether B is a knight or a knave based on the information given.
