BIDEN: ‘I’M PREPARED, IF HE’S WILLING TO TALK’: President Joe Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin is in a box of his own making. “He’s miscalculated every single thing he initially calculated,” Biden said at a White House news conference with visiting French President Emmanuel Macron.

“So, the question is: How does he get himself out of the circumstance he’s in?” Biden said. “There is one way for this war to end the rational way: Putin to pull out of Ukraine — No. 1. But it appears he’s not going to do that.”
