Inside Biden's call with Putin
President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke one-on-one Tuesday morning regarding tensions between the Kremlin and Ukraine, a "high-stakes diplomatic effort"
by the U.S. at deterring Russia from invading Kyiv. Though exact
details of the meeting have yet to emerge (if they do at all), here's
what we know about what went down:
As for the conference's kick off, CBS News' Ed O'Keefe shared a video broadcast from Russian state television showing Biden and Putin kindly greeting one another as the bilat began.
Just don't think the two leaders were waving hi to one another over Zoom, reports The New York Times.
Instead, Biden relied on his administration's "secure communications
process" to get through to Russia, a system with protocol that often
varies from White House to White House. A secure call essentially means
the resulting conversation is encrypted. Read more and see tweets and video here.
