Shafaq News/ Britain and America confirmed on Monday that a peaceful diplomatic solution still exists to end the tension between Russia and Ukraine, as an alternative to the military option.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office said that the latter and US President Joe Biden consider that “the opportunity is still available for a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian crisis,” according to the Russian “TASS” news agency.
He added that “Johnson and Biden briefed each other on the substance of the talks they had with other world leaders. They agreed that the window for diplomacy was still open, and that Russia could back down from the threat to Ukraine.”
Johnson said earlier, “I will do everything in my power to assist the diplomatic process … I will speak very soon with several leaders, including Joe Biden.”
Johnson quoted Biden as saying that “there are indications that Russia is planning something that could happen within the next 48 hours,” and described the situation as “extremely dangerous.”
