President Biden has agreed “in principle” to meet with Vladimir Putin, but only if Russia does not invade Ukraine, says Jen Psaki.
President Joe Biden has agreed “in principle” to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin, provided Russia avoids what U.S. intelligence has suggested isof Ukraine. In a Sunday statement, White House press secretary Jen Psaki reiterated that the U.S. government was “committed to pursuing diplomacy until the moment an invasion begins.
“President Biden accepted in principle a meeting with President Putin following that engagement, again, if an invasion hasn’t happened,” Psaki continued. “We are always ready for diplomacy. We are also ready to impose swift and severe consequences should Russia instead choose war.” At the present moment, she concluded, “Russia appears to be continuing preparations for a full-scale assault on Ukraine very soon.
