US official says ‘no fundamental change’ after Biden-Putin call

WASHINGTON — A call today between US President Joe Biden and his Kremlin counterpart Vladimir Putin brought no major change in the standoff over Russian troops massing near Ukraine, a senior US official says.

The call was “professional and substantive and lasted a bit over an hour. There was no fundamental change in the dynamics unfolding now for several weeks,” the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, tells reporters.
