There are no “no concrete plans” for a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in a call with journalists on Monday.

Biden has agreed in principle to talks, brokered by French President Emmanuel Macron, but the White House said Sunday it will go ahead only "if an invasion hasn't happened."

“A substantive understanding has been reached that it is necessary to continue dialogue at the ministers’ level. It is too early to talk about concrete plans for organising summits,” Peskov said during his briefing.

“Of course, we do not rule out that, if necessary, the presidents of Russia and US can make a decision at any time to have contacts, by telephone or in person. It will be their decision,” Peskov added.

3. You know what either you have one or you don't Peskov, you just said it...

“Of course, we do not rule out that, if necessary, the presidents of Russia and US can make a decision at any time to have contacts, by telephone or in person. It will be their decision,” Peskov added.

4. I'll say this...

Nobody will be able to say* that Biden and the West didn’t do everything within their humanly powers to avoid war, should it happen. Their patience in giving Putin every opportunity to stand down has been true diplomacy in action. This is not Iraq 2.0.

*GOP excepted, of course.

I am so glad Biden is our president.

6. Indeed. Russia has concrete plans to avoid a diplomatic solution at any cost.

Unless it involves the surrender of Ukraine.
