According to the newspaper, the White House intends to find out whether "Moscow is serious about ending the Ukrainian crisis."

Earlier, NBC TV channel reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is ready to offer Russia to discuss reducing the presence of the military of both countries in Eastern Europe, as well as reducing the scale of military exercises in the region.

Also, the channel did not rule out that the United States Washington may touch upon the Iskander missile systems in Kaliningrad.

At the same time, the State Department said that information about a possible discussion of a reduction in the military presence in Eastern Europe does not correspond to reality.
