The G7 group of rich democracies has warned Russia of "massive consequences" if it invades Ukraine.
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, speaking after a summit in Liverpool, said the group wanted Russia to stop its aggression towards Ukraine
However President Putin told President Biden during their video call last week that Russian troops did not pose a threat to anyone, Russian media report.
Tensions are growing as Moscow amasses troops on Ukraine's border.
Mr Putin added that he had no particular grounds for optimism after speaking to Mr Biden, but would like to meet him in person, local media quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying.
Russia and the US continue to have serious conceptual differences, Mr Peskov added.
Ukrainian authorities have said Moscow could be planning a military offensive at the end of January, although US officials say it is not yet clear whether Mr Putin has made a decision.
