White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan is sharing what President Joe Biden said to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I have come into this briefing room from the Oval Office where President Biden was on the phone with President Zelensky of Ukraine. This is a call that they had been planning to make in advance of President Biden going to Europe, meeting with President Putin,” Sullivan said during a White House press briefing on Monday.

He added, “They had the opportunity to talk at some length about all of the issues in the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. And President Biden was able to tell President Zelensky that he will stand up firmly for Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and its aspirations as we go forward.”

Sullivan also revealed Biden told Zelensky he “looks forward to welcoming him to the White House… this summer after he returns from Europe.”

He added, “I can’t tell you whether I’m optimistic or not about the results. I don’t think we’re going to know after one meeting, but we’ll have some indications … We’re prepared either way.”

Sullivan explained why it is important for Biden to meet with Putin in person.

“There is never any substitute for leader to leader engagement, particularly for complex relationships,” Sullivan said.

He continued, “But with Putin, this is exponentially the case. He has a highly personalized style of decision-making. And so it is important for President Biden to be able to sit down with him face to face, to be clear about where we are, to understand where he is, to try to manage our differences, and to identify those areas where we can work in America’s interests to make progress.”
