The US will retaliate if Russia continues to carry out malicious cyber-attacks against American targets, Joe Biden said on Wednesday, after holding “good and positive” talks in Geneva with Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Speaking after their first face-to-face summit, Biden said he had made clear the Kremlin had to “abide by the rules of the road” or face unspecified consequences. Putin was aware the US possessed “unrivalled” cyber capacities, Biden stressed.
After three hours of talks, Biden said he wanted to reestablish US-Russian relations on a predictable and pragmatic footing, after the chaos and embarrassment of the Trump era. He did not believe Putin wanted a new cold war, but admitted he did not know if his Russian counterpart would change his behaviour.
The US president added: “It’s about self-interest and the verification of self-interest. Or, as the old expression goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating”.
The summit held at a picturesque 18th-century mansion overlooking Lake Geneva ended on an optimistic note, with both leaders cautiously praising the other. Biden said their discussions had been “good”, without “strident action” or a “hyperbolic atmosphere”.
Speaking in his solo press conference, Putin said the discussions were conducted without “hostility”. “Quite the contrary,” he said. He described Biden as a balanced and experienced person who “spoke the same language”, and who had talked fondly about his family and mother.
Putin added: “It showed an understanding of his moral values. That’s all quite attractive. It doesn’t mean we looked into each other’s eyes or souls. We have to represent our countries. The relationship is a pragmatic one.”
The summit – carried out amid low expectations – got results. Both sides agreed that their ambassadors would return to their posts in Moscow and Washington, at a date to be fixed.
The Kremlin recalled its envoy to the US after Biden described Putin in a TV interview as a “killer”. His US counterpart, John Sullivan, flew home in April. Their return represents modest progress in relations, following a long and bitter period of acrimony.
