Biden To Speak On Ukraine 15:30ET 20:30 GMT

WHITE HOUSE

The White House says: '[Biden] will reiterate that the US remains open to high-level diplomacy in close coordination with our Allies, building on the multiple diplomatic off-ramps we and our Allies and partners have offered Russia in recent months.'

  • Biden's speech follows a call between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Sergei Lavrov that has recently concluded. After the call Lavrov said he: 'Stressed the need to continue working together, said that 'aggressive rhetoric' was unacceptable and called for pragmatic dialogue on security.'
  • Today also saw a positive meeting between Putin and Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The uptick in diplomatic talks have been accompanied with an optimism that tensions are receding from the highs earlier this week.
