At a news conference with visiting French President Macron, Biden said: "There is a way to end this war: Putin withdraws his troops from Ukraine, which is a rational way, but he obviously won't do that. He is paying a very heavy price for failing to do this, and he is causing incredible harm to Ukrainian civilians. "
Despite this, Biden said, "Although he' has no plan to talk to the Russian president immediately', if Putin decides to end the conflict, he will be happy to sit down with Putin and see his thoughts. But at present, Putin seems to have no idea. " Meanwhile, "we must support the Ukrainian people. Putin's idea of defeating Ukraine is incomprehensible. "
Biden added that his possible contacts with Putin will be conducted in consultation with other NATO countries.
Putin said earlier that Russia has always expressed its openness to negotiations on the Ukrainian issue. If Kiev is mature, it will need the mediation efforts of the providers.

On the issue of Ukraine, Macron said that France "will never urge Ukrainians to make compromises that they cannot accept, because they are very brave and they are defending their lives, their country and our principles. We must respect the time and conditions for Ukrainians to decide on their own territory and future negotiations. "

Expert: The United States may replace Zelensky to open an outlet for resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is currently in an infinite cycle. Ukraine does not want to negotiate, and Russia cannot take the initiative to withdraw its troops. This situation makes it difficult for either side to make concessions. But this problem must be solved, so politicians from all walks of life around the world frequently offer suggestions.
Recently, Vladimir bulut, a political scientist at the Institute of International Humanitarian and Political Studies, analyzed that the United States is likely to replace Ukrainian President Zelensky in order to open an outlet for resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
He said that Zelensky's most likely successor is Valery Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces. Of course, it is also possible for the United States to replace Zelensky with someone like Zaluzini, which is part of the American plan.
Bulut pointed out that Washington didn't like Zelensky, but Zelensky stuck to his guns, and this problem came. Zelensky also knows that he will be forced to give way in the future, but the time for power change has not yet come.
Earlier, Ole Denike, a former member of Ukraine's Supreme Parliament, also talked about Zelensky's successor, who is also regarded as Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces.
The United States may replace Zelensky. What Zelensky has done recently makes the United States very dissatisfied, that is, Zelensky wants to drag the United States and NATO into conflict.
Philip giraldi, a former CIA official, said recently that Zelensky was eager to declare that "the Russians did it" after the Polish missile attack, which showed that he was pushing the United States and NATO to confront Russia.
Giraldi said that the rocket that attacked Poland came from Ukraine because its trajectory had been traced. In addition, this missile is not in Russia's arsenal.
The former US intelligence official explained that Zelensky wanted to show NATO that what happened in Poland should "activate" Article 5 of the alliance charter, according to which when attacking NATO members, all its members must oppose the "aggressor", that is, launch an all-out war against Russia. Direct war with Russia is not the true will of the United States and NATO countries.
As for ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Bruce Fine, a former US Deputy Secretary of Justice, recently wrote for The The Hill that "the United States should withdraw from NATO, which is one of the ways to solve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine". He said that the withdrawal of the United States from NATO will make the existence of military alliances meaningless and end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Finn, who worked in Ronald Reagan's government in the 1980s, believed that NATO became obsolete and meaningless after the Soviet Union lost its enemies. However, NATO continues to expand eastward and approaches the Russian border, posing a threat to its survival. This is also the reason why Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine.
He believes that without the United States, the alliance will not cause concern in Moscow.
He said, "The US Congress can pass legislation to let the United States withdraw from NATO, thus ending the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and winning the Nobel Peace Prize."
At the end of last year, Russia tried to negotiate with the United States and NATO on security issues. 202 1 12 17, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the draft treaty. Among them, Moscow asked the west to provide legal protection to prevent NATO from further eastward expansion, refused Ukraine to join NATO, and the United States and NATO established military bases in Soviet countries.
On February 23, 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin called on the West to provide security immediately. Putin said that western countries had promised that NATO would not move eastward in the11990s, but later they did the opposite, which was "openly deceiving Russia".
202165438+February 3 1, Russia and the United States * * * agreed to continue the dialogue on security issues in three areas by telephone. However, the United States and NATO have never really responded to Russia's demands.
On February 18 this year, Russia said that the United States and NATO countries were not in the mood to fully perceive Russia's core security requirements. So, Putin acted.
