White House press secretary Jen Psaki said after a conversation between the two heads of state that Biden warned Putin about drastic measures in the event of a Russian attack on Ukraine. The American leader also stressed that "significant progress in the negotiations [on security] can only be achieved if the situation is de-escalated."
In October-November, some Western media began to publish data about the impending "invasion" of Russia into Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied this information. Putin, during a video conference with Biden on December 7, said that “it is NATO that is making dangerous attempts to develop Ukrainian territory” and is building up military potential near Russian borders. He pointed out that Russia is interested in legal guarantees of non-expansion of the alliance to the east.
