Biden and Putin will hold a high-stakes video conference call that Biden will use to try to dissuade Moscow from invading Ukraine
US urged Russia and Ukraine to return to a set of agreements signed in 2014 and 2015 and designed to end a separatist war by Russian-speakers in eastern Ukraine.
Biden spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. A separate source familiar with the situation said targeting Putin's inner circle has been discussed but no decision had been made. Sanctions against Russia's biggest banks and the ability to convert rubles into dollars and other currencies were also being considered, another source said.
