US President Joe Biden commented on the upcoming talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which the leaders of the two countries will discuss the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

According to Reuters, Biden said he was preparing "the largest and most significant set of initiatives that will make it very difficult for Putin to do what he is feared to do."

The US President also noted that he expects a "long discussion" with the President of Russia.
