President Joe Biden delivered his first comments about the situation in Ukraine directly to the American people on Tuesday. Biden spoke from the East Room of the White House during a day of continued negotiations and developments over the pending crisis. “We are ready with diplomacy,” Biden said. “And we are ready to respond decisively to a Russian attack on Ukraine, which is still very much a possibility.” Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow is ready for talks with the U.S. and NATO on limits for missile deployments and military transparency, a second signal Tuesday of a potential tension release in the conflict between Russia and the West over Ukraine. Just hours earlier, Russia said it would send home some troops from military exercises, which have raised fears of an invasion of Ukraine.
