Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin will speak Saturday as tensions soar over the Ukraine crisis, according to a U.S. official. The U.S. said intelligence indicates Russia may attack Ukraine before the Olympics end on Feb. 20. Russia has said it has no intention of invading.
Russia pushed back after NATO and the European Union said they’d only provide a collective response to its proposals on a regional security framework. Moscow had been seeking individual replies from each member nation of the EU.
