The White House said last week Biden inclination travel to Europe next week for an emergency NATO meeting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The news came after NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed he was calling for the alliance’s leaders to convene in Brussels to discuss their response to Russia’s attack.
“His goal is to meet in actually, face to face, with his European counterparts and talk about where we are in the conflict with Russia,” Psaki said. It is not yet unfaltering if Biden will try to meet with Zelenskyy himself or if he will visit refugees in Poland.
On Sunday, Zelenskyy demanded he is ‘ready for negotiations” with Putin but warned of a “third World War” if peace talks with Russia are unsuccessful.
“I dream that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating, possibility of talking to Putin. But if these tries fail, that would mean that this is a third World War,” he said.
