CNN, citing an unnamed US official, called the visit of US President Joe Biden to Kiev unlikely amid the current crisis.
Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during an hour-long telephone conversation with the US leader invited him to visit Kiev. A source in the Ukrainian government said that the head of the American administration did not give a positive response to a request to come to the country “as soon as possible.”
On February 13, Presidents of Ukraine and the United States Volodymyr Zelensky and Joe Biden had a telephone conversation. As a result of the conversation, they decided to continue diplomacy to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. The leaders also discussed the security situation, economic issues and sanctions against Russia.
Biden had previously said Russia would “invade” Ukraine on Feb. 16. At the same time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken did not in any way confirm the statement of the country's leader.
