President Joe Biden on Tuesday spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, directly raising concerns about the Russian military buildup on Ukraine\u2019s border.<\/p>\n
Biden told Putin the U.S. would \u201cact firmly in defense of its national interests\u201d regarding Russian cyber intrusions and election interference, according to the White House. Biden also proposed a summit meeting in a third country \u201cin the coming months\u201d to discuss the full range of U.S.-Russia issues, the White House said.<\/p>\n
