Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow is ready for talks with the U.S. and NATO on limits for missile deployments and military transparency, a second signal Tuesday of a potential tension release in the conflict between Russia and the West over Ukraine.

Just hours earlier, Russia said it would send home some troops from military exercises, which have raised fears of an invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking after talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Putin said that while the U.S. and NATO rejected Moscow’s demand to keep Ukraine and other ex-Soviet nations out of NATO, halt weapons deployments near Russian borders and roll back alliance forces from Eastern Europe, they have agreed to discuss some security measures already suggested by Russia.
Putin said Russia is ready to engage in talks on limiting the deployment of intermediate range missiles in Europe, transparency of drills and other confidence-building measures but emphasized the need for the West to heed Russia’s main demands.

Really comforting that he walks away and can’t even answer one question. Watching him is scary for our country.
Yeah. Standing up to Putin must have your country terrified.
I thought I read a remarkable solution to the problem. 🤔
No it’s not standing up to Putin. It’s the person doing it. It’s like checkers be chess.
God appointed Joe Biden to office.
@SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT That is absolutely correct. I complain about our leaders but the leaders we get are the result of the immorality running through our country. Its the same as when the people wanted a King in Israel and they were given over to Saul. The real problem its that we have gotten away from our Judeo-CHristian moral roots to what we see today, hence our terrible leadership throughout the nation. And yes I know we are supposed to pray for them anyway.
Tr3b
call trump and ask him to help you please you need help
The guy can barely read the damn teleprompter. How about speaking to us naturally with your own thoughts rather than reading the script that was provided to you…
The fact that as American people we have to wait 3 years to remove this disaster is frightening
@Michael Mercier We don.t have to wait. The power is in our hands, not his. We all just need to get onto the same page.
Liar
Exactly.
Fear to cover failure. 😂 Lies
Announcement
Emperor Brandon has no clothes. Sorry.
Why does he repeat what he already said days prior, like it’s a campaign speech rather than a response to Putin’s latest comments?
This is not diplomacy, this is a monologue.
Trump lost, get over it lol
Talk, talk, talk & he ain’t even good at that.
Again and again he reads prepared papers , turns around and walks away upon conclusion.
Unbelievable this the POTUS!
He says we have supplied Ukraine military with equipment…$$$$
Holy cow***were all gonna”****!!!!!!?
Nato must stand strongly against rusia or else this is the time for Nato’s fallen…
The Ukrainians would be wise to remember who was in the office in the US in 2014 when they lost Crimea to Russia.
Don’t the Republicans love Russia and Putin now?
What’s wrong with Biden’s brain?
Obama has his hand to far up this puppet’s back side..
Bring Trump back and this ends in the blink of an eye.
