Joe Biden spoke with a number of European leaders on the phone to address latest developments in the Ukrainian conflict.

Ahead of the NATO and G7 meetings this week, I spoke with Quint leaders to discuss our ongoing military, diplomatic and economic support for Ukraine.

Together, we need to maintain the pressure on Russia's barbaric invasion and ensure #PutinMustFail.

According to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, the U.S, President spoke with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Monday. The leaders discussed ways to further prop up the Ukrainian government as it struggles to accept Russia's peace offers.

"They discussed their serious concerns about Russia's brutal tactics in Ukraine, including its attacks on civilians," Psaki explained. "They underscored their continued support for Ukraine, including by providing security assistance to the brave Ukrainians who are defending their country from Russian aggression and humanitarian assistance to the millions of Ukrainians who have fled the violence. They also reviewed recent diplomatic efforts in support of Ukraine's effort to reach a cease fire."

The White House Press Secretary noted that talks with EU leaders will continue.

"It may have been last week they talked about doing this on a regular basis," she continued. "Not necessarily because there is a big deliverable out of it, but just to keep an open line of communication."

Biden is planning to travel to Europe later this week to discuss the economic and security fallout of his foreign policies.
