Ukraine-Russia crisis news from February 15: Putin says Russia ready for talks on confidence-building measures.
Biden speaks at podium
'If Russia does invade in the days or weeks ahead, the human cost for Ukraine will be immense,' Biden says
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he is “ready to work further” with the West on security issues to de-escalate tensions over Ukraine, but emphasised the need for the West to heed Russia’s main demands.
He spoke on Tuesday during a news conference following talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Moscow.
Scholz said at the briefing that he agrees with Russia’s assessment that there is still a chance to avert war over Ukraine and that “diplomatic options are far from exhausted”.
“When we actually see units and tanks and artillery and missiles that are moving away from Ukraine’s border – rather than toward it as they have been for the past two months – when we see these military forces going back to their barracks, back to their home stations, that will be a very good indicator that there can be serious negotiations,” Taylor told Al Jazeera.
