0:31Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin sought a phone call with U.S. President Joe Biden as a prelude to negotiations on European security at the start of the year, the Kremlin said.
“The purpose of the call is very clear -- to continue discussing all the issues that were on the agenda” at Dec. 7 talks between the two leaders and before the negotiations in January, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Thursday. “From President Putin’s viewpoint, there is a need for another phone discussion ahead of the start of the negotiations,” he said, without elaborating.
The talks set for 11:30 p.m. in Moscow -- 3.30 p.m. in Washington -- take place amid U.S. and European alarm over a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine as early as next month before the frozen terrain turns to mud in spring. The Kremlin denies any intention to invade its neighbor, while also demanding security guarantees from the West that include a halt to North Atlantic Treaty Organization expansion and the withdrawal of NATO forces in Europe to positions they held in 1997.
