Ukraine welcomes the prospect of a summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, but nothing can be resolved without Kiev’s involvement, Ukraine’s top security official said on Monday.

Biden and Putin have agreed in principle to a summit on Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday, offering a possible way out of one of the most dangerous European crises in decades.
