putin-and-biden-to-hold-telephone-conversation
Washington, Dec 29 (Prensa Latina) United States President Joe Biden will talk over the phone on Thursday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, amid tensions over military operations near the border with Ukraine, the White House announced on Wednesday.

The call is aimed at discussing a variety of issues, including upcoming bilateral diplomatic commitments, National Security Council Spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement.

According to the press release, Washington maintains dialogue and consultations with its European partners and allies to address with a common approach what they consider “Russia’s military build-up on the border with Ukraine,” which has been denied by Moscow.

On December 7, a virtual summit of more than two hours took place between Putin and Biden, who threatened Moscow with “strong” economic sanctions if Russian troops invaded Ukraine.

Russian authorities rejected that their forces are about to initiate such an action and maintain that their troops move within their territory for purely defensive purposes.
