Joe Biden, along with allies, is ready to meet with the Russian president if he shows willingness to end the war.
US President Joe Biden is ready to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin if he shows a willingness to end the war. State Department Spokesman Ned Price said this at a briefing on Friday, December 2, Ukrinform reports.
“What President Biden said yesterday is that if President Putin is ready to end this war in Ukraine, we, for our part, are ready to engage in diplomacy. With possible negotiations (Biden – ed.) with President Putin,” Price said.
At the same time, the US will conduct such negotiations in close coordination with NATO allies and Ukraine.
“There is nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” the official recalled the principle that guides the American side in any negotiations on the Ukrainian issue.
Also, the United States will never recognize Russia’s illegal annexation of Ukrainian territories it has occupied since 2014.
But now the Russian Federation has made it clear that it is in no mood for constructive dialogue and diplomacy.
“Therefore, together with our partners and allies, we are committed to holding the Russian Federation accountable for its atrocities, supporting Ukraine in its efforts to defend itself against Russian aggression, and reducing the impact of the war unleashed by Putin on rest of the world,” the US State Department spokesperson concluded.
It will be remembered, commenting on Biden’s words, the Kremlin said that the Russian Federation will not agree to such conditions, and the so-called “special operation” will continue.
