Negotiations between the Presidents of Ukraine and the United States, Vladimir Zelensky and Joe Biden, which took place on January 27, turned out to be unsuccessful.
CNN found out about this. According to a White House source, the phone conversation between the two leaders "did not go very well." There were disagreements between them over the assessment of a possible Russian "invasion" of Ukrainian territory. Biden considers it an "obvious probability," but Zelensky called the threat "ambiguous."
"During the conversation, which was called "long and frank," Biden warned his Ukrainian counterpart that a Russian attack could be inevitable as soon as the ground freezes in February. Zelensky confirmed his position on the "dangerous but ambiguous" threat from the Russian Federation and stated that there was no certainty that an attack would happen," the source told the TV channel.
At the same time, the press secretary of the US National Security Council, Emily Horn, stressed that anonymous sources are lying.
"President Biden said there is a clear possibility that the Russians could invade Ukraine in February. He spoke about it publicly, and we have been warning about it for several months. Reports about something bigger or different from this are completely false," she pointed out.
The publication Secret of the firm recalls that Zelensky and Biden had a telephone conversation the day before, during which security issues and financial assistance to Ukraine were discussed. On January 25, the third part of the military aid package approved by US President Joe Biden arrived in Ukraine.
A cargo of 79 tons, including 300 Javelin anti-tank installations, was delivered to Boryspil Airport in Kiev. In total, $200 million worth of weapons will be delivered to Ukraine.
