President of the United States Joe Biden announced a likely soon conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. This became known on Friday, November 26.
“In all likelihood,” – Biden answered reporters to the relevant question.
In addition, the head of the United States commented on rumors about a coup d’état allegedly impending in Ukraine.
“We support the territorial integrity of Ukraine and support Ukraine’s ability to govern itself. We object to anything even remotely prepared, ”Biden said.
On November 18, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that negotiations between the Russian and American presidents could take place before the end of the year. Possible topics for negotiations will be Ukraine and NATO.
On November 26, during a press conference, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there would be no putsch in Ukraine, since the country’s army simply would not do it. He also said that he had received information about a coup d’état planned for December 1–2, in which, as he believes, businessman Rinat Akhmetov was involved. According to the Ukrainian leader, billions of dollars are allocated for the preparation of this act. At the same time, the president noted that he did not believe in the possibility of a violent seizure of power, and doubted that Akhmetov could participate in such a conspiracy.
In turn, some Western media interpreted Zelensky’s words about a possible coup as a statement about the preparation of a putsch in Ukraine.
