US President Joe Biden has said he has no reason to talk with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, including about the Ukraine conflict. However, he also said he would not refuse to engage with any world leader.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Biden was asked whether he would still be able to "deal" with Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a few years. "I'm ready to deal with them now," he replied, noting that he maintains contact with Xi.

However, when it comes to the Russian leader, Biden said he had "no good reason to talk to Putin" at the moment. "There's not much that he is prepared to do in terms of accommodating any change in his behavior," he added, referring to the hostilities between Moscow and Kiev. "I'm not ready to talk to Putin unless Putin is ready to change his behavior."

However, Biden then said he was open to engagement with "any leader who wants to talk," including Putin. He recalled that the last time the pair had a direct conversation, they were discussing an arms control agreement relating to nuclear weapons in space. "That didn't go very far," he added.

The last phone call between Biden and Putin took place in late December 2021, several weeks before the start of Russia's campaign in Ukraine, which resulted in bilateral relations plummeting to their lowest point since the Cold War.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last month that Russia was ready to hold talks with the US but only if such dialogue is "comprehensive" and includes not only arms control issues but also the Ukraine conflict.

"It is impossible to take out any individual segments from the general complex of accumulated problems," he said, acknowledging that both sides need to engage to address mounting problems in the global security architecture.

On Thursday, Putin's name was again mentioned by Biden during a joint event in Washington when he confused Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky for the Russian leader, exacerbating concerns about his mental state, which have been mounting since his disastrous debate performance against GOP rival Donald Trump last month.
