NEWS COVERAGE 1 from THE NEW YORK TIMES


Biden and Putin Express Desire for Better Relations at Summit Shaped by Disputes

A highly anticipated first summit meeting between President Joe Biden and President Vladimir Putin of Russia ended early on Wednesday and was described by both sides as a series of polite but adamantly stated disagreements about which country is the greater force of global disruption.

After about three hours of talks, the two leaders emerged, separately, and offered professional respect for each other, like two skilled boxers describing the other’s prowess. Both expressed a desire for a better relationship, but announced no dramatic actions to arrest the downward spiral that has already hurtled them toward the worst U.S.-Russian tensions since the Cold War.

In dueling news conferences on the edge of Lake Geneva, a traditional site for two of the world’s most powerful antagonists to discuss their differences, the two leaders committed to the creation of working groups to deal with urgent issues, starting with arms control and the proliferation of cyberattacks. They agreed to send ambassadors back to each other’s capitals, Putin said, and expressed interest in working in some areas of mutual interest, from the Arctic to Afghanistan. “There has been no hostility,’’ Putin said, speaking about the meeting.



Biden declared “I did what I came to do,’’ including laying out a series of warnings and red lines for the Russian leader, which he insisted were not “threats.”



Biden emerged offering some modest optimism that America has restored its alliances with Europe and has made Putin more cautious about any actions regarded as being against American interests.



“I think the last thing he wants now is a Cold War,’’ Biden said at his news conference, describing Putin as the struggling leader of a declining economy who was worried about the growth of an expansionist, aggressive China on his border.



But Biden also said he had handed the Russian leader a list of 16 examples of “critical infrastructure,’’ and had made clear that if they were attacked, “we have significant cybercapabilities” and would respond “in a cyberway.”



Biden said there had been no hyperbole and no talk of military intervention in their exchanges, which he described as “simple assertions.” But his warning that accelerating Russian cyberoperations would get an in-kind response could signal a significant escalation in the daily cyberconflict now underway among major and lesser powers, including China, Iran and North Korea.
