A summit between the leader of the United States and the leader of Russia.

A summit between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin was held yesterday (16) afternoon.
The two world leaders met in Geneva, Switzerland. This is the first time the two leaders have met face to face since Biden became president.
The meeting of these leaders during a time of crisis was an event that gained attention in world politics. The purpose of the meeting is to develop more stable and strong relations between Russia and the United States.

Relations between the United States and Russia have faded since long. Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, its involvement in the Syrian crisis, and its alleged involvement in when Donald Trump became president in the 2016 U.S. presidential election have also contributed to this situation. Diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia have also broken down.

Biden joined with his secretary of state and Putin joined with his foreign minister to the summit. Commenting on this summit, Biden said, he thinks it’s better for leaders to meet face to face. Putin said he hoped the talks would be fruitful.

However, the United States has already imposed a number of new sanctions on Russia, and the US president has raised a number of issues with the head of state in Russia, including cyber-attacks, aggressive policy towards Ukraine, and electoral interference.

Russia’s activities were also discussed at the recent NATO summit. In this context, all parties are keeping an eye on the future relations between the two countries and the outcome of the talks.
