The Russian leader was concerned about the cooperation of Kyiv and Washington, especially in the question of possible transmission of nuclear weapons. Baiden was asked about talking to Putin about his nuclear threats at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "I spoke to him when he started threatening tactical nuclear weapons. You know, tactical nuclear weapons in Europe frightened everyone, including Russia.
He wanted to be sure that in Europe, I mean in Ukraine, no nuclear weapons," - Biden explained. Putin said Biden: "I know that you can attack me from Ukraine though tomorrow. You can hit Moscow. " Biden assured him that this would not be a problem. There are no nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The US President also guaranteed Putin of Ukraine's NATO. Integration into the Alliance is impossible without radical changes in the system. In addition, Biden told details of the visit to Kiev in 2023.
According to him, he was afraid of the attack of radical elements related to the Russian Federation. The safety of the US President in Kiev for this reason was provided by the "best people". "I was concerned that the radical elements in Ukraine, which were under control or cooperated with the Russians, could try to do so," he said. Biden was convinced that Putin would not dare to remove the US president.
