Experts describes Putin-Biden summit as âpromising beginningâ
Matthew Rojansky emphasized that "despite holding separate press conferences, the two presidents issued a joint statement, focusing on an issue essential to the core national security of both sides - strategic stability"
WASHINGTON, June 17. /TASS/. The Geneva meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Joe Biden of the United States was a promising beginning, Director of the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for advanced Russia studies Matthew Rojansky told TASS, commenting on the Russian-US summit that took place in Geneva on Wednesday.
"President Biden set expectations for the Geneva summit appropriately low. He described his goal as moving towards a more stable and predictable relationship, and putting guardrails on potentially escalatory behavior. By these measures, the summit was a promising beginning, but only a beginning," he pointed out.
