President Joe Biden dramatically raised the stakes with Russia on Tuesday with a call to Vladimir Putin where he asked his counterpart to de-escalate its military situation in the Ukraine and requested a peace summit amid rising tensions between the two nations.

Biden made it 'clear that the United States will act firmly in defense of its national interests in response to Russia’s actions,' the White House said in a statement as Moscow demanded Washington stay out of the Crimea.

The president, in the call, proposed a summit meeting in a third country in coming months to discuss a range of issues between the two countries. It is now on Putin to respond.

The call comes amid a surge of cease-fire violations in eastern Ukraine, where Russian-supported separatists and Ukrainian forces have been locked in a conflict since Moscow's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.

Biden brought up a number of topics in the conversation, including cyber intrusions such as the SolarWinds hack, which Moscow denies; election interference, which Moscow denies; and Russia's growing military escalation.

In the call, the president 'emphasized the United States’ unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,' the White House said in a statement.

He also voiced 'concerns over the sudden Russian military build-up in occupied Crimea and on Ukraine’s borders, and called on Russia to de-escalate tensions.'

This is the second known call between the two leaders since Biden took office. In March, he invited Putin to attend his climate summit later this summer.

C;mon man.  Corn Pop was a bad dude! Biden told Putin "you may cut me man, but I’m going to wrap this chain around your head.”

That's what most of the world is doing these days anytime Biden opens his mouth.

I wonder how many times his keepers had to tell him who he was calling and why he was calling Putin and what exactly to say.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Putin is amused.    He already had an agreement with Obama to steal Ukraine again and fully expects that agreement to be met in Obama's third term.

Peskov talks about the proposal to hold a meeting between Putin and Biden in Europe

15:06 14.04.2021 (Updated: 19:03 14.04.2021)

MOSCOW, Apr 14 - RIA Novosti.
It is too early to talk about the specific meeting place of Russian and U.S. Presidents Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

He noted that the two leaders had spoken the day before "about one of the European countries" and "one of the third countries."

He stressed that "further development of the proposal of the meeting in one of the European countries is possible only taking into account the analysis of the real situation and the next steps" of Washington.

The day before, Biden called Putin and offered to hold a bilateral summit in a third country.  .  .

The official Russian response from Peskov is that the Biden needs to start acting right and kiss some Russian ass before they agree to a meeting.  Meanwhile, preparation for the Ukrainian invasion will continue unabated.
