President Joe Biden, on a call Thursday with President Volodymyr Zelensky, said no decisions or discussions would be made “about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
The two leaders took part in a 90-minute phone call Dec. 9 two days after Biden held a video call with Russian President Vladimir Putin in which Biden told Putin the United States and its allies would respond “with strong economic and other measures” in the event of a Russian military escalation against Ukraine.
