New York Times: Ukraine's fate hangs in the balance
During yesterday's negotiations between the presidents of Russia and the United States, no practical results were achieved - Moscow did not make concessions to Washington.
The New York Times newspaper writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The fate of Ukraine still hangs in the balance. The leaders' video conference did not resolve the crisis on Ukraine's borders, and neither the Kremlin nor the White House reported significant progress. Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, said after the meeting that Biden offered Putin a choice between a diplomatic solution and the serious economic and political consequences that could follow Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but he did not say whether Mr Putin took the any obligations,” the article notes.
According to the author of the publication, the Russian President “stands firm in his position.”
“It is unclear whether Mr. Biden's threats will deter the Russian leader from invading Ukraine. But Mr. Putin did not agree to reconciliation. Kremlin notes of the meeting said Mr Putin blamed the tension on the West, which he said was building up its military capabilities in and around Ukraine. And Mr. Putin demanded legal guarantees that NATO would not expand eastward to the borders of Russia and would not deploy offensive weapons systems in Ukraine,” the publication says.
