Kremlin Revealed Agenda of Putin-Biden Summit

Putin's aide said the leaders of the United States and Russia, in particular, will discuss nuclear stability, climate change and cybersecurity The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Joe Biden in Geneva on Wednesday is unlikely to lead to concrete agreements, but negotiations will still be useful, the Russian leader's aide said. Putin's foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters that the agenda for the meeting, but not the final communique, was approved in his telephone conversation with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday. According to Ushakov, the talks will discuss issues of nuclear stability, climate change, cyber security, as well as the fate of American and Russian citizens who are in Russian and US prisons, respectively. “I am not sure that any agreements will be reached. Let's see, I don't know. I look at this meeting with practical optimism, but not much,” Ushakov told reporters on Tuesday. The leaders of the two countries have independently opened the door to a possible exchange of prisoners - two former American Marines held in Russia for two Russians in American prisons. A lawyer said last year that Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout is one of the prisoners Moscow is seeking to be released.
