Moscow/Washington – The White House informed that US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin would hold discussions against the background of escalating tension over the Ukraine issue. The US National Security Council spokeswoman, Emily Horne, said that the debate would be held on Thursday afternoon. While the United States has expressed willingness to talk, senior Russian officials accused the United States of starting a new Cold War.
A few days ago, the US President and his Russian counterpart held talks through a video link. The discussions were held on various issues, including the tensions over Ukraine. The opposition parties in the United States have fired a salvo of criticism that President Biden adopted a very moderate stand during the discussion. The discussions were claimed to have been a diplomatic victory for President Putin. But the White House dismissed the report and clarified that Russia was warned of action.
Following these discussions, President Putin presented the Security Pact to the western countries, including the United States and demanded a quick response to the proposal. Although NATO and the European countries expressed opposition to the proposal, the United States clarified that it was willing to discuss the issues. It was also reported that talks would be held between the two countries, on the Ukraine issue, on the 10th of January. Against this background, the report of discussions between the two countries becomes significant.
As informed by the White House, the request for the telephonic discussion came from Russian President Putin. The US sources noted that as President Biden believes that there is no better alternative than a direct talk between countries’ leaders, he accepted the proposal to establish a dialogue with President Putin over the phone.
While reports are being received that the United States is willing to talk, senior Russian officials have blamed the United States for a new Cold War. Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, has accused the United States of launching ‘Cold War 2.0’. Polyanskiy claimed that after the end of the Cold War in the last century, there was a feeling that the West could become a friend, leading to a better world, but the belief soon developed cracks.
Russian Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations accused, ‘It became apparent that the intentions of our Western colleagues were not good. Furthermore, Americans and the Europeans were trying to disintegrate, break, and suppress Russia. Things began to change rapidly in the new millennium. Western nations, including the United States, began to view Russia as a threat. What is currently going on can be called a Cold War remake, which would be Cold War 2.0’. Polyanskiy also claimed that the world is once again amidst a geopolitical conflict.
Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France held discussions on the issue of Russian movements along the Ukraine border. British Foreign Minister Liz Truss stated it. It was reported that earlier in the day, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken held talks with the Ukrainian President and assured him regarding security.
