Hour long call between US and Russian presidents widely seen as last-ditch attempt to stop invasion of Ukraine
Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin talked by phone for over an hour on Saturday in what is widely seen as a last-ditch effort to fend off a Russian invasion of Ukraine which the US has warned could start as early as Wednesday.
The White House said that the Kremlin had suggested the call and Biden had accepted, and it began shortly after 11am Washington time.
