The White House said that US President Joe Biden intends to speak on the phone with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, January 2. TASS reports.

“President Biden plans to speak by phone with Ukrainian President Zelensky on Sunday to reaffirm US support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, to discuss the buildup of the Russian military presence near Ukraine’s borders, and to discuss preparations for upcoming diplomatic contacts to help de-escalate the situation in the region,” - said the press service of the White House.

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Ukraine Sergey Nikiforov said that he did not rule out that after talking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden and Zelensky would also call.

“Like the last time Biden talked to Putin, first Blinken called us, then Biden talked to Putin, and then with President Zelensky. Therefore, now it will also be a logical and expected step. And I do not exclude that Biden and Zelensky may talk in the near future, ”he said.
