Biden, Putin agree to ‘in principle’ summit amid Ukraine tensions
US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed in principle to a summit over the Ukraine crisis, the office of French President Emmanuel Macron said, so long as Moscow does not invade Ukraine. In a statement released early on Monday, the Elysee Palace said Macron had pitched both leaders on a summit over “security and strategic stability in Europe”. “Presidents Biden and Putin have both accepted the principle of such a summit,” the statement said, stressing that such a meeting would be impossible if Russia invaded Ukraine as Western nations fear is its intention. The White House later confirmed the planned summit.
