First Deputy Head of the International Committee of the Federation Council Vladimir Dzhabarov appreciated the second telephone conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden. In his opinion, the parties could clarify their positions on proposals for security guarantees, RIA Novosti reports.
“The fact that the second conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States took place in the last month indicates that Washington has taken our proposals on security guarantees very seriously,” the senator stressed.
Dzhabarov noted that we are talking about “reconciling the clock” – that is, clarifying the positions of Moscow and Washington, so that the delegations of the two countries have specific instructions from the heads of state.
The conversation between Putin and Biden began at 15.35 Washington time (23.35 Moscow time) on Thursday, December 30, and ended at 16.25 (00.25 Moscow time Friday, December 31), the White House said. In total, the dialogue lasted 50 minutes.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the topic of the telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US leader Joe Biden would be the January talks on security guarantees. Peskov said that the conversation scheduled for Thursday evening, December 30, will be a continuation of the video session that took place earlier between the presidents.
