Kremlin Says Deals At Putin-Biden Summit Unlikely But Talks Useful

The leaders will meet for the first time since Biden became president as the bilateral relationship stands at the lowest point in years.

A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden in Geneva on Wednesday is unlikely to yield concrete deals but the talks will still be useful, a Kremlin aide said. The leaders will meet for the first time since Biden became president as the bilateral relationship stands at the lowest point in years.  Putin's foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters that the agenda - apart form the final communiques - was confirmed in his phone call with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday. Nuclear stability, climate change, cybersecurity and the fate of U.S. and Russian nationals who are in prison in each other's countries would be on the agenda, the Kremlin aide said.
