The Russian President said he wants to resolve the conflict as soon as possible, as Russia is aiming for a swift resolution.
The Russian president called the invasion in Ukraine war for the first time. He always used words like military operations. Vlamidir Putin replied, The sooner the better. on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
This was followed by Ukrainian President Zelensky’s first overseas trip after the Russian invasion.
Zelensky met Biden at the White House and thanked the US and its people for their support for the Ukraine.
In the meeting, US President Joe Biden expanded arms shipments and committed to providing Patriot surface-to-air missiles as part of the US’s greatest commitment to Ukraine to date. On December 22, Biden welcomed the president of Ukraine with a high-profile VIP welcome.
Putin minimised the significance of the Patriot air defence system that Biden offered to deliver Zelenskiy by asserting that Russia will find a way to thwart it. Russia would crack the Patriots, he claimed. Also referring to the Patriot as very ancient, Putin claimed that such acts would simply serve to prolong the fight.
Russia claims that Biden’s actions have shown that the US and Russia are indirectly at war. Biden and Zelenskyy, according to Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, had not shown that they were willing to hear Russia’s concerns. According to Peskov, Zelenskyy was never made aware of the continued shelling of civilian areas in the cities and villages of Donbas, nor were any serious cries for peace heard.
