Washington, Oct 13 (TIWN) US President Joe Biden ruled out talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit at Indonesia, saying "there is no rationale to meet with him now".

"Look, I have no intention of meeting with him," Biden told CNN in a rare televised interview. "But for example, if he came to me at the G20 and said I want to talk about the release of (detained basketball star) Brittney Griner, I'd meet with him. I mean, it would depend."
