U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a 62-minute phone call on the 12th (local time), but failed to come up with a breakthrough in resolving the Ukraine crisis.
A senior Biden government official told Archyde.com that the two leaders’ calls were professional and substantive, but there was no fundamental change in the situation in Ukraine.
“President Biden has made it clear that if Russia invades Ukraine anew, he will respond decisively with allies and allies and impose swift and harsh penalties on Russia,” the White House said in a press release.
Regarding the summit call on the same day, Russia said, “It took place amid the height of hysteria in the United States, but the content of the conversation was balanced and efficient.” “We have agreed to carefully review President Biden’s views on Russian security,” Yuri Ushakov, the Kremlin’s foreign affairs adviser, said at a telephone press briefing.
Ushakov said the summit was originally scheduled for the 14th, but was moved up due to US hysteria that Russia would invade Ukraine.
“I can’t understand why the US is providing the media with misinformation related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” he said.
