Joe Biden will meet Russian president Vladimir Putin only if Russia does not invade Ukraine.
France was seen leading the discussions to avert an all-out war between Ukraine and Russia.
Emmanuel Macron spoke to Putin where it was agreed ‘in principle’ that the leaders of the US and Russia will meet at a summit.
Macron’s meeting with Putin is being seen as a last-ditch effort to prevent a European war.
Putin told Macron that the US and NATO need to take Russian demands for security guarantees seriously.
The French presidency highlighted that Putin told Macron that Russian troops would eventually leave from Belarus.
It is after Russia announced that its troops participating in military drills in Belarus would remain due to ceasefire violations along Ukraine’s eastern border.
