president biden and then after nato comes their first meeting, the first meeting of president biden and vladimir putin. what will you look for in that meeting. well, first of all, i hope that we will not have any of these frankly inappropriate one on one meetings where we have no idea what was done, so. i am pretty sure we will have a return to normalcy. our president will sit down with the russian president, they will have a meeting, proper notes will be taken and i think there will be an exchange of the agenda items. i do not expect any huge breakthroughs, but i think mr putin should go away from that meeting with a clear understanding of what the biden administration is expecting. in terms of the substance of the meeting, one the big issues is of course corruption, which will be there, but the biggest issue
