Peskov said there were no contacts in the negotiations between Putin and Biden

There are no preliminary contacts regarding possible talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

“There are no preliminary contacts on this matter,” Peskov replied to the corresponding question.

“Of course, any conflict ends at the negotiating table, this has been said many times, but, of course, we are talking first of all about the speedy completion of the NWO by achieving the goals that the Russian Federation sets for itself,” a Kremlin spokesman commented on Putin’s statements about Russia’s aspirations, end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible.

The day before, December 22, at a press conference, Putin declaredthat Russia seeks “not to spin the flywheel of a military conflict”, but to end the Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible. Yesterday the head of state notedthat all armed conflicts end at the negotiating table. And “the sooner this awareness comes to those who oppose us, the better,” Putin added.

Later Strategic Communications Coordinator at the White House National Security Council John Kirby declaredthat if Russia shows a serious willingness to negotiate, then US President Joe Biden will be ready to meet with Putin. Kirby added that the American leader was ready to negotiate with Putin only on the condition that Moscow showed a “serious and real” willingness, and also after consultations with the Ukrainian side.

Russia’s special operation in Ukraine began on February 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the protection of the inhabitants of Donbass, as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, its goals. During the special operation, Russian troops took full control of the LPR, as well as most of the DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Subsequently, these territories became part of Russia, and on October 19 martial law was introduced in the regions.
