President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed 'in principle' to a summit.
that he was “convinced [Putin has] made the decision” to invade Ukraine, and such an attack could happen in the coming days.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday morning that “all signs look like President Putin and the Russians are proceeding with a plan to execute a major military invasion of Ukraine.” "We also have intelligence to suggest that there will be an even greater form of brutality because this will not simply be some conventional war between two armies," he said. "It will be a war waged by Russia on the Ukrainian people, to repress them, to crush them."
Macron's office wrote in a statement Sunday night that Biden and Putin agreed "in principle" to a summit following separate conversations with the two leaders. The summit "can only be held if Russia does not invade Ukraine." "President Biden accepted in principle a meeting with President Putin following that engagement, again, if an invasion hasn’t happened," she continued. "We are always ready for diplomacy."
A spokesperson for the Kremlin said Monday that a summit between Biden and Putin is "feasible" but that it's "premature" to discuss firm plans for such a meeting.
