Biden-Putin face-to-face meeting ‘unlikely’ – Blinken
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the press that a face-to-face meeting between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin is “very unlikely” if Moscow refuses to de-escalate tensions with Ukraine.
“We’re looking to see Russia pull back forces from the border. And we’re looking to see Russia engage in good faith in diplomacy and diplomatic dialogue with the Europeans, with Ukraine to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine and to give Ukraine its borders back,” Blinken said in an interview with NBC.
His comments come after a video released by Russian state TV showed Putin telling his US counterpart in their virtual call that he would like to meet in person for more talks.
