President Joe Biden said he discussed human rights and cyberattacks at a summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Wednesday that provided an early and critical review of his diplomatic skills in the peak discussions of his long career.
Biden and Putin went on to describe the three-hour summit as positive but with no progress in the primaries. Biden warned that face-to-face was mandatory at a time of deeply strained ties between the United States and Russia. Progress would come later, when the effects of its international relations would be confirmed.
“I did what I had to do here,” he said, describing a day that ended as planned: with a smarter counterpart but no new spaces for agreement.
Biden kicked off a press convention after the summit focusing on human rights at the meeting, adding the case of jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Earlier, Putin said he had not detected any hostility between Biden and himself.
There have been some modest effects after the talks, adding an agreement to remove the country’s ambassador from his post and the assignment of experts to focus on the growing challenge of cyberattacks. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan is likely to return to Moscow next week, a senior management official said Wednesday.
But more importantly, Biden and Putin seemed to recommend that the genuine end results of their meeting be read to each other before what is likely to remain a highly contentious relationship.
“I told President Putin that my schedule is not opposed to Russia or that it is for the American people,” Biden said. “I have made it clear to President Putin that we will continue to raise basic human rights issues because that is who we are. “
Speaking at his own press convention an hour before Biden’s, Putin called the talks “constructive” and said he left with a positive impression of the U. S. leader.
“He’s a balanced, pro-man man, and he’s transparent that he has a lot of experience,” Putin said. “I find that we speak the same language.
However, it showed no signs of a replacement in the malicious habit that tested the West’s ability and willingness to respond, and it did replace its rhetoric, denouncing Navalny and denying Russia’s role in cyberattacks.
Instead, he described 3 frank and pragmatic hours that had led him to a deep or emotional connection.
“This doesn’t actually mean we look others in the eye and discover a soul or swear an eternal friendship,” he said.
The summit between Biden and Putin was divided into two rounds: the first a smaller consultation and the moment with larger delegations. The total duration of the race was shorter than the 4 to five hours initially planned through officials for the summit.
“After two hours, we look at others like, OK, what’s next?Biden said, explaining that the talks were shorter than expected.
Biden and Putin covered a “vast” amount of floor in their first face-to-face meeting, which led to a shorter, expanded bilateral meeting, according to a senior management official.
“It wasn’t about other people who read, communicated problems with each other or were just doing monologues about this or that; it focused very specifically on those other vital issues, and as a result, they covered a lot of floor and part of the floor that we had planned to do canopy maybe with the full equipment, they did canopy in the one plus one,” the official said.
The summit had begun the day before in a book-dubbed study, in which the leader had a serious expression by making superficial opening remarks. Biden and Putin spoke through translators and did not appear to look directly at each other.
Biden said he seeks a “predictable and rational” appointment with Russia and referred to the United States and Russia as “two wonderful powers,” a remarkable elevation of Moscow’s prestige on the world stage.
“I think it’s better to meet face to face, to check to find out where we have a mutual interest, to cooperate,” Biden said. For his part, Putin thanked Biden for “the initiative to meet” as the couple sat down before their first meeting.
“I know you had a long adventure and you have a lot of paintings to make,” Putin said. “Relations between Russia and the United States have accumulated many disorders that require an assembly at the highest point and I hope that our assembly will be productive. “. “
When a reporter asked Biden if he trusted Putin, he gave the impression of nodding his head; his communications director later said the president wasn’t nodding in reaction to a specific question.
The leaders arrived, first Putin, then Biden, at the summit site on the shores of Lake Geneva in their processions shortly after 1 p. m. local time on a hot day in the Swiss city that has already noticed vital conversations between U. S. and Russian leaders. .
Biden arrived in the villa thanks to Western allies he had spent last week consulting before his face-to-face with the Russian president, who arrived in Geneva on Wednesday morning.
According to Biden, all those leaders supported him in his resolve to meet with Putin now, the first six months of his presidency, before he had a chance to fully formulate a strategy for Russia.
Villos angeles los angeles Grange humming in front of the maximum watched assembly of biden’s young presidency. Strict security and the building itself had been decorated with flowers, flos angelesgs and a red carpet.
This is the kind of scene that stung Biden after getting tired of virtual caucuses and forced phone calls through the pandemic. He sought to have the merit of seeing Putin in person, at his first in-person assembly since 2011. that during that assembly, he told Putin, a few inches from his face, that he had no soul (Putin said in an interview this week, he doesn’t forget to hear that).
There are some spaces in which Biden’s idea that he can simply paint in accord with Putin, adding cooperation on nuclear weapons and climate replacement and a shared interest in renewing the Iran nuclear deal.
But the spaces for dispute were far more than agreed, and the maximum of the consultation was to focus on the myriad tactics in which Biden believes Russia is violating foreign rules.
This includes a recent wave of ransomware attacks covering all sectors in the United States, introduced through criminal syndicate in Russia. Biden also planned to raise human rights.
He said he had told his Russian counterpart to ban certain “critical infrastructure” spaces for cyberattacks, and described 16 express entities that are explained as critical infrastructure, adding energy and water, which both sides agree are prohibited for cyber warfare. . The full list includes spaces that have recently been attacked by Russian criminal groups, according to a senior management official.
“Precept is one thing; it will have to be supported through practice,” Biden said. “Responsible countries will have to take steps to oppose criminals who carry out ransomware activities on their territory. “
Biden said he had raised interference in the U. S. election, warning that the U. S. would react.
“I have made it clear that we will tolerate attempts to violate our democratic sovereignty or destabilize our democratic elections, and we will react,” he said.
He said they also agreed on spaces for mutual cooperation, adding strategic stability and weapons measures. The organization agreed to launch a “bilateral strategic stability dialogue” between army experts and diplomats.
“We’ll know in the next six months to a year if we have a strategic discussion that matters,” Biden said.
Officials say his technique, which he had extensively described before the summit, largely reflects his comprehensive technique with Russia so far, a technique explained through careful benchmarking and intentional balancing. There is no indication, at least publicly, that this technique has led to a replacement in Putin’s behavior.
The technique has many complaints, even, according to two US officials, within the Biden administration itself, but it also served to lay the groundwork for the critical encounter with Putin himself. -face-to-face meetings, to advance with the concept of a summit.
This tale was updated with more progress on Wednesday.
I did what I have to do here, i. e. nap, love always,
So embarazoso. Sr. Biden = has compatibility to be president, in my humble opinion
– yes, she has acted like her predecessor and fainted like a schoolgirl – still languishing with your macho orange idol, huh?
Tyrants respect courage. It doesn’t smell sales.
Go, Joe! You straightened the old Puter!
No one knows what else Joe’s dementia has given Putin. Before the “Dementia Joe and Putin” meeting, Joe Dementia has already given Putin the conduit, Joe Madness has given in to Russian bailout tricks and given Putin the “Home” treaty while Putin improves his nutransparent arsenal and Joe Madness flattens our military budget. It is evident that dementia Joe and his wife Jill are mistreating the elderly, as there is no doubt that Joe’s dementia is way above his head.
“I did what I came here to do. ” I mean, it looks weak, it looks like it has intellectual disorders and declining health. Funny CNN and similar media don’t mention your speech disorders at all during this trip!However, it is in the foreign media. The mainstream media is ridiculous.
“I did what I had to do here” . . . strange, that’s precisely what Putin said.
What is it!!! Usually, the stories showed how bad Trump is with deficient journalists. Biden took one for DOCKING to ask him a question and intimidated a CNN WOMAN reporter. What a misogynist. Or do we have the right to see biden’s vicious side?
“We’ll know in the next six months to a year if we have a strategic discussion that matters,” Nuff said.
