Russia drew attention to the fact that US President Joe Biden allowed a hypothetical possibility of Ukraine’s joining NATO, said the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
“As for Ukraine, we heard that hypothetically, President Biden allowed the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO,” he said on Channel One.
Peskov noted that earlier such statements from the United States were not made and the Russian Federation will pay attention to this “in full”. Peskov is also sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin, if necessary, will indicate to Biden the position of Moscow on this issue.
“Putin is always clear in setting out the “red lines” for the Russian Federation, especially in such a difficult conversation that will take place today, ” Peskov said.
The meeting of the presidents of Russia and the United States will be held today, June 16. Vladimir Putin intends to spend one day in Geneva and return to Russia immediately after the events-unlike Joe Biden, who has already spent a week in Europe: he visited the G7 summit and met with Queen Elizabeth II in the UK. The negotiations, according to the forecasts of the Russian side, will last about 4-5 hours. The start is scheduled for 14: 00 Moscow time.
