Notes, Johnson and Biden informed each other about the contents of the conversations they spent with other world leaders.
“they agreed that the vital window for the implementation of diplomacy remains open, and Russia can still pass back, stopping threatening Ukraine,” the Premier Office is noted.
The document also noted that, in the opinion of both leaders, any further invasion of Ukraine will lead to a protracted crisis for Russia and will turn away far-reaching negative consequences for the whole world. In particular, Western countries will apply a large-scale package of sanctions against Moscow in the case of the “escalation of Russian aggression.”
Johnson and Biden also emphasized the need to reduce the dependence of European countries from Russian gas, which would be “the strongest strike on the strategic interests of Russia.”
“Prime Minister and the President agreed to remain closely against the background of a developing situation,” said Downing Street.
