The meeting with Putin? Biden: Depends what he wants to discuss

The “depends on what he wants to discuss,” said Beden told a possible face-to-face meeting with Putin next month in Indonesia.

If he came to me at the G20 and told me he wanted to talk about Greener, I'd meet him. That depends. I have no intention of negotiating and no one is ready to negotiate, with Russia for Ukraine, to hold part of Ukraine. So it would depend, specifically what it wants to discuss”, Biden explained in an interview for CNN, stressing that negotiations on a war settlement should include Kiev.

Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine”, the US president later stressed, criticising Putin for committing brutal acts and war crimes. “He miscalculated” with the invasion, he thought he would be received with open arms, that he would be welcome,” added Biden.

After setting the alarm for an Armageddon, the American president has made it clear that he does not believe Putin will use nuclear weapons.

I don't think I will. But I think it's irresponsible for him to talk about it. What I mean is that the result would be terrible. He cannot continue to speak unpunished about the use of nuclear tactical weapons as if it were a rational thing to do. Threats coming from Russia could result in “malpractice” and “miscalculations” catastrophic”, Biden explained without coming into detail what the American response might be.

The Defense Department has been successfully developing emergency plans in this direction. Even in a possible red line of the US and NATO, the president has been active. It would be irresponsible for me to talk about it,” he said, declaring that the Pentagon should neither be required to set emergency plans.

He said there would be “consequences” for Saudi Arabia after it partnered with Moscow to announce a reduction in oil production -- a move that could cause rising gas prices by the approach of mid-November elections. /A2 CNN
