Biden Says He’s Ready To Talk To Putin About Ukraine … But First Let’s Eat

Biden has yet to talk to Russia President Vladimir Putin since he invade Ukraine in February but said before the State Dinner he's "prepared" to do so.

  • “Let me choose my words very carefully,” Biden said at a news with Macron before the State Dinner on Thursday night. “I’m prepared to speak with Mr. Putin if in fact there is an interest in him deciding he’s looking for a way to end the war. He hasn’t done that yet.”
  • French President Emmanuel Macron has kept open the lines of communication with Putin.
  • Macron said he would continue to talk with Putin to “try to prevent escalation and to get some very concrete results” such as the safety of nuclear plants.
