Steps are being taken to prevent the President of the United States from meeting his Russian counterpart in the hallway or even in a group photo.
President Joe Biden and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin are scheduled to attend the G20 summit, which begins in Indonesia on November 15. US officials are trying to prevent the leaders from meeting. The Politiko writes about it.
Biden reportedly made the move to meet with Putin at a summit to discuss the release of American hostages, including WNBA star Britney Greener. At the same time, no negotiations with the Kremlin were planned.
However, it is possible that at some point Biden and Putin may cross paths at the summit.
According to the publication, steps are being taken to exclude the meeting of the American president with his Russian counterpart in the corridor or even in a group photo.
“We know what President Biden thinks about President Putin: he thinks he’s an assassin, he thinks he’s a war criminal,” said former US ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor.
It will be remembered that Biden called Putin a war criminal, as well as a “butcher”.
The US President also said that Putin “completely miscalculated” when he decided to attack Ukraine.
