Biden, Putin talk for two hours on Ukraine, other topics amid war fears

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin held two hours of virtual addresses on Ukraine and other controversies on Tuesday amid Western fears that Moscow is poised to foray into its southern neighbor.

Russian Television footage showed Biden and Putin chatting with each other in a friendly manner at the launch of what was anticipated to be a tense exchange. Biden told Putin he hoped their coming meeting would be in person.

The White House issued a statement saying the addresses had started but didn’t display any illustrations from the secure situation Room’where Biden was located.

The two leaders talked for two hours and one nanosecond, according to the White House.

The Kremlin has said it hopes the two leaders can hold an in-person peak to bandy what it has described as the lamentable state of US-Russia relations, which have sunk to their smallest since the end of the Cold War.

US officers said before the videotape conference that Biden would tell Putin that Russia and its banks could be hit with the toughest profitable warrants yet if it attacks Ukraine.

They said the warrants, which one source said could target Russia’s biggest banks and Moscow’s capability to convert roubles into bones and other currencies, were designed to inhibit Putin from using knockouts of thousands of colors concentrated near the Ukrainian border to attack its southern neighbor.

The Kremlin, which said before Tuesday’s meeting it didn’t anticipate any improvements, has denied harboring any intention to attack Ukraine and has said its troop posture is protective.

But Moscow has raised rising vexation over Western military aid to Ukraine, a fellow former Soviet democracy that has listed towards the West since a popular rebellion stumbled a pro-Russian chairman in 2014, and what it calls creeping North Atlantic Treaty Organisation expansion.

Moscow has likewise questioned Ukrainian intentions and said it wants guarantees that Kyiv won’t use force to try to regain home lost in 2014 to Russia- backed secessionists, a script Ukraine has ruled out.

“ We are looking for good, predictable relations with the United States. Russia has no way intended to attack anyone, but we’ve our enterprises and we’ve our red lines,” said Kremlin prophet Dmitry Peskov.

Leaders from Britain, the US, France, Germany, and Italy will hold a call at 1800 GMT following the Biden-Putin addresses, the White House and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office said.

The same abettors spoke on Monday and “ agreed to stay in close touch on a coordinated and comprehensive approach in response to Russia’s military figure-up on Ukraine’s borders,” the White House said.

On the dusk of his virtual meeting, Biden spoke with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, and Britain, with the Western powers expressing their “ determination” that Ukraine’s sovereignty is admired.

The White House said that after the talk with Putin, Biden would reach out to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Beyond Ukraine, Biden and Putin will also bandy a range of big issues where their countries are at odds, including Iran’s problematic nuclear assiduity and a surge of cyberattacks against the US.

Further EU warrants?
The European Union’s (EU’s) principal superintendent, Ursula von der Leyen, offered Ukraine the EU’s full support on Tuesday and said that the bloc would consider further warrants on Russia.

Ukraine and Nato powers charge Russia of erecting up colors near the border, sparking fears of a possible attack. Moscow denies any similar plan and accuses Kyiv of gathering its own forces in its east, where Russian- backed secessionists control a large part of Ukrainian home.

The US has prompted both countries to return to a set of largely unimplemented agreements inked in 2014 and 2015 which were designed to end the war in eastern Ukraine.

“ He (Biden) will make clear that there will be veritably real costs should Russia choose to do, but he’ll also make clear that there’s an effective way forward with respect to tactfulness,” the elderly Biden administration told journalists.

Putin has said he wants fairly binding guarantees Nato won’t expand farther eastwards and a pledge that certain types of munitions won’t be stationed in countries close to Russia, including Ukraine.
