President Joe Biden has agreed in principle to meet with Vladimir Putin to discuss the Ukraine crisis – as long as Russia doesn’t attack its neighboring country.
The potential summit would follow a planned Thursday meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Sergei Lavrov – which will also only occur without a Russian invasion of Ukraine, officials said.
“President Biden accepted in principle a meeting with President Putin following that engagement, again, if an invasion hasn’t happened,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a Sunday night statement.
“We are always ready for diplomacy. We are also ready to impose swift and severe consequences should Russia instead choose war,” Psaki said.
The press secretary also reiterated the belief that Russia is on the brink of launching an attack.
“Currently, Russia appears to be continuing preparations for a full-scale assault on Ukraine very soon,” she said.
Biden last Friday said he was “convinced” that Putin had decided to invade Ukraine “in the coming days.
The president made the declaration after the US obtained intelligence that Russian commanders have received their orders and are making specific plans on how to carry out an invasion, CBS News reported.
News of the potential meeting between Biden and Putin came as it was revealed that the US received credible intelligence that Russia plans to carry out disturbing human rights abuses in the aftermath of an invasion of Ukraine.
Details of Moscow’s purported post-attack plan were included in a letter from Bathsheba Crocker, the US ambassador to the United Nations to the UN human rights chief.
“We have credible information that indicates Russian forces are creating lists of identified Ukrainians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation,” read the letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post.

P
So if Russia invades, he doesn’t have to meet Biden?
That’s an incentive. We are lead by idiots.

Wonder why the Media is good with Biden privately meeting when he’s involved with so much Ukraine Corruption?
And the fact that Biden lied about what the Generals told him in Afghanistan?

Now US "intelligence" sources say it's on for February 30th.
I know this is no laughing matter but your post made me laugh LoL.
Yeh, probably the only thing that could make Putin invade the Ukraine is to avoid meeting with Biden. 😆
Crimea will invade with Russian equipment. Is that acceptable for Biden?
...US “intelligence” sources...
Is that a real thing anymore?
You won’t get any criticism out of me.
Everything is a laughing matter these days. You either laugh
at it or let it cause you to keel over.
Yes, it was called the “Munich Conference”. An aggressive European authoritarian entity was expanding it’s control over other areas using military threats.
Just like the EU/NATO today, an expansive authoritarian entity, trying to expand into Ukraine and especially eastern Ukraine.
“… News of the potential meeting between Biden and Putin came as it was revealed that the US received credible intelligence that Russia plans to carry out disturbing human rights abuses in the aftermath of an invasion of Ukraine….”

Please… nobody tell Biden about the Russians’ detailed plans to send in Russian and Belarusian Cossacks to bayonet Ukrainian babies.🙀🙀🙀😂
Putin may have implied, “take me to your leader,” but it’s hard to believe he was referring to biden.
Biden’s going to send Corn Pop to lead negotiations.
Bathsheba Crocker??? ROFL! Where do they find these people?
Seriously, Putin can outwait all these clowns.He needs no timetable.
Of course, if Russia invades, The Big Guy gets 10%.
It’s funny going back to 2012/2013, and how the Ukraine basically wanted a ‘free-trade’ agreement with the EU, and they came in with all kinds of extras....hinting of NATO invitations, etc.
If anyone from either the Ukraine or EU had just sat and thought about it...trade was the only thing that made sense and avoided this whole confrontation.
