Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Joseph Biden will have a telephone conversation on Saturday. Also, as confirmed in the Kremlin, on February 12, Putin will talk by phone with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Biden and Putin last spoke on the phone at the end of last year. In addition, in early December, they had negotiations in the format of a videoconference. The main topics of these contacts were the issues of settling the conflict in Ukraine and providing legal guarantees for Russia’s security.
Putin met with Macron on Monday in Moscow. The situation around Ukraine was discussed.
Earlier it was reported that, according to US presidential aide Jake Sullivan, the Russian Federation could take aggressive steps against Ukraine any day. Most likely, the invasion will begin with an air attack, Sullivan said. CNN, citing its sources, reported that the US and its allies have received new intelligence, according to which Russia may launch an attack on Ukraine even before the end of the Beijing Olympics. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said there was a risk of overthrowing the government in Kiev.
Russia still claims that it is not preparing for hostilities against Ukraine. Moscow says such accusations are being used to justify Ukraine’s military buildup, as well as the concentration of NATO forces in Eastern Europe.
