Ukrainian president will speak with Biden “in the next few hours”

President ukrainianVolodimir Zelensky, will talk by phone with Joe Biden“in the next few hours” on the crisis between Russia and Western countries over the situation in Ukraine, his office announced on Sunday.

“In the next few hours, President Volodimir Zelensky will talk about the security situation and about the current diplomatic efforts for de-escalation with US President Joe Biden,” said the press secretary of the Ukrainian president, Sergiy Nikiforov, in the network. Facebook.

Diplomatic efforts, which on Saturday sparked a flurry of phone calls between Western leaders and Moscow, have failed to defuse tensions over Ukraine.

Washington had warned on Friday that Russia had deployed enough military forces around Ukraine to launch an offensive “at any moment”.

Moscow denies harboring any intention of invasion, but calls for an end to NATO’s expansion to the east and Western support for this former Soviet republic, which it considers to be within its sphere of influence. Demands that are unacceptable to Kiev and its Western backers.
