Vladimir Putin v In a telephone conversation with Joe Biden, he explained the danger of Ukraine's possible accession to NATO. The Russian leader pointed out that the country was able to involve the Alliance in a direct armed confrontation with Russia. Putin's aide, Yuri Ushakov, retold the details of the conversation between the two countries' heads.
Explaining the words of the Russian president, the official recalled that Ukraine had repeatedly expressed a desire to return Crimea by force. And it is unlikely that he will leave this position after joining the bloc.
Ushakov noted that Putin reminded Biden of cooperation between Russia and NATO in the 1990s. The interaction was cut off after the Alliance began accepting new members and began to actively expand to the east.
