International efforts to defuse the standoff over Ukraine intensified Monday, with France's president holding talks in Moscow and Germany's chancellor seen in Washington to coordinate policies as fears of a Russian invasion mounted.
Biden made his comments during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the White House, shortly after the two leaders met for talks about the simmering crisis.
Speaking at the start of his meeting with Scholz, U.S. President Joe Biden said that the U.S. and Germany were “working in lockstep to further deter Russian aggression in Europe.” Macron, who heads Tuesday to Ukraine, spoke by phone Sunday with Biden. Before the Putin meeting, Macron said: “I don’t believe in spontaneous miracles.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday again pushed back against criticism of Germany that it’s not doing enough to support Ukraine. Biden already has deployed additional U.S. troops to Poland, Romania and Germany, and a few dozen elite U.S troops and equipment landed Sunday in southeastern Poland near the border with Ukraine, with hundreds more infantry troops of the 82nd Airborne Division set to arrive.
