* Biden, facing his first major foreign policy test against an experienced foe, invited Putin 'to de-escalate tensions' and proposed a summit 'in the coming months', without indicating the Russian president's response
* The Kremlin later added that the phone call had taken place at Washington's request, keen to make it appear that Biden had come crawling to his adversary

* Biden's call to Putin took place hours after Russia's deputy foreign minister warned Washington to keep its warships away from the Black Sea 'for their own good', saying it risked turning the region into a 'powder keg'

Vladimir Putin yesterday snubbed Joe Biden's request to hold a summit amid soaring tensions over Russia's massive build-up of troops at the Ukrainian border.
The US President, facing his first major foreign policy test against an experienced foe, invited Putin 'to de-escalate tensions' and proposed a summit 'in the coming months,' the White House said.
The Kremlin declined to respond to the proposal and went on to insist that the phone call had taken place at Washington's request, keen to make it appear that Biden had come crawling to his adversary.

Update #3: Putin-Biden summit proposal being considered, Kremlin says (TASS)
WNU Editor: There will be a meeting between the two one day. But from I am hearing and reading from Russia, the Kremlin does not see anything worthwhile coming out from such a summit at this point of time.
They see such a summit being more of process and image rather than substance.
And if this happens, there will definitely be no summit in the short term .... US poised to impose anti-Russian sanctions over cyberattacks, election meddling - media (TASS). More here .... US is expected to sanction Russia and expel Russian officials in response to hacks and election interference (CNN).

THE KREMLIN WILL ALWAYS BE SEOCND RATE WHEN ITCOME TO AMERICAN ELECITON MEDDLING.
You cannot compete wit a criminal syndicate that can throw poll observers out, stop counting only to keep counting, and halt counting across several state simultaneously, while they call a huddle and then count ballots unobserved.
If the Democrat sanctioned themselves, US elections will be cleaner than they have ever been.
The Democrat party literally pay criminal gangs to get out the vote on election day.
To be a Democrat is to be a criminal.
Report out of Chicago of politicians allying with gangs to win support

America make an immediate action for an "may be" Russian one. Poor of us.
To make the accusations about an election fix is pure stupidity...where the evidence for your claim?
The courts said Biden won
the Popular vote won
the electoral college won
the gop who won took their seats legally and did all the Dems
grow up
So now you want "evidence", liar.
Ah, the corn eater got out of bed. It must be full after the one it is with had their daily BM.
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took sweeping action against 16 entities and 16 individuals who attempted to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election at the direction of the leadership of the Russian Government.
This announcement follows the Intelligence Community’s (IC) “Assessment of Foreign Threats to the 2020 U.S. Federal Elections.” The IC assessment addresses the intentions and efforts of key foreign actors, including Russia, to influence or interfere with the U.S. elections and undermine public confidence in the election process. Russia employed a system of government officials, disinformation outlets, and companies to covertly influence U.S. voters and spread misinformation about U.S. political candidates and U.S. election processes and institutions.
“Treasury will target Russian leaders, officials, intelligence services, and their proxies that attempt to interfere in the U.S. electoral process or subvert U.S. democracy,” said Secretary Janet L. Yellen. “This is the start of a new U.S. campaign against Russian malign behavior.”
Today’s actions highlight how multiple Russian officials, proxies, and intelligence agencies coordinated to interfere with recent U.S. elections. Private and public sector corruption facilitated by President Vladimir Putin has enriched his network of confidants, who used their illicit business connections to advance Russia’s campaign to undermine the 2020 U.S. presidential election—and to give Russia plausible deniability in its disinformation activities. Members of this network include First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia Alexei Gromov (Gromov), previously designated as a government official pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13661. Gromov leads the Kremlin’s use of its media apparatus that sought to exacerbate tensions in the United States by discrediting the 2020 U.S. election process.
You are a liar.
