In light of Russian troops massed along Ukraine's border, President Vladimir Putin is expected to give Biden an ultimatum during their video meeting Tuesday: Either guarantee NATO will never expand into Ukraine or Russia might launch an offensive against its neighbor.
According to the Kremlin, the United States and its NATO allies have to provide guarantees that the alliance will not expand east - either in terms of membership or Western forces.
A video call between the United States and Russian took place during an unusually tense period in U.S.-Russian relations. Russian President Vladimir Putin faces "serious consequences" if he pursues military action against Ukraine according to the White House - believed to be economic sanctions.
