Russian President Vladimir Putin at a press conference following the summit with US President Joe Biden said that the parties discussed the issue of “red lines”, for which it is not necessary to stand up in the future. The broadcast of the press conference of the head of state is conducted by RBC.
When asked whether the summit could agree that the countries should not go beyond the “red lines”, Putin said that in general, the United States and Russia understand each other in this regard.
“I must tell you frankly, so far and in detail to place accents and divide something, we certainly did not reach this point. But keeping in mind that we have agreed to work on both cybersecurity and strategic stability, & lt;…”also, by the way, on joint work in the Arctic, and in some other areas, all this should be the subject of our discussions and, I hope, agreements,” the president said.
According to Putin, Russian-American relations have accumulated “a lot of blockages”. “It seemed to me that both sides, including the American side, are determined to seek a solution,” he said.
The Putin-Biden summit was held in Geneva. The negotiations lasted almost four hours. In a narrow format, the meeting lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes, then the presidents went on a break before the start of the second part of the negotiations in a wide format.
On the eve of the summit, Moscow and Washington announced that the final press conference of the presidents will not be joint. Each of them will communicate with journalists separately. In addition, no agreements will be signed following the meeting, the Kremlin announced.
