The two men looked cordial enough as they shook hands for the first time as leaders. But the sun-struck journalists behind them pushed and shouted, some knocked to the floor, as they fought to get in to the leaders\u2019 only joint appearance of the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cThe media scuffle was the most chaotic your pooler has seen at a presidential event in nine years,\u201d wrote a US reporter from inside the melee, which erupted as the press pack tried to follow the two leaders into the villa. \u201cRussian security yelled at journalists to get out and began pushing journalists. Journalists and White House officials screamed back that the Russian security should stop touching us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"sign-in-gate\">\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">The conflict felt tribal, as did the allegiances. \u201cOf course the Americans can\u2019t do without a scandal,\u201d scoffed one Russian state news journalist as she filmed the battle from a distance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"e47b89de-91e8-4fa7-b68d-05625a80adac\" class=\"dcr-1mfia18\">Five things we learned from the Biden-Putin summit in Geneva<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">It was a rare moment of chaos in a carefully curated Geneva summit that intentionally left little to chance. For Biden, the summit was designed as the anti-Helsinki, a chance to show that he would not be taken advantage of by Putin like Donald Trump had in Finland in 2018. That meeting went so poorly that Fiona Hill, a former Trump adviser, said she considered faking a medical emergency or pulling a fire alarm to end the press conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">On Wednesday, Biden did not share a stage with Putin after the talks, with the two men holding separate press conferences (Biden said it was to avoid on-stage theatrics). Their press pools were corralled separately for much of the day to avoid awkward questions, and Putin\u2019s arrival was set before Biden\u2019s to prevent the Russian leader from making the US president wait.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"e84d317c-39ee-4137-87cd-949b9c144aa3\" class=\"dcr-1mfia18\">Putin and Biden meet for talks in Switzerland \u2013 in pictures<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Meanwhile, the streets and waterways of Geneva were patrolled by soldiers in camouflage to ensure security and the absence of protests, the Parc la Grange wreathed in barbed wire days before the summit. By the time that Biden and Putin rode in their motorcades down the lakeside Quai de Cologny, the waterfront resembled a Fortress Geneva, both host and hostage to a summit that could only take place in a small roster of European cities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">It went about as well as it could have. Speaking after the four-hour talks, Putin praised Biden\u2019s \u201cmoral values\u201d and called the talks \u201cextremely constructive\u201d, while calling their relationship a \u201cpragmatic one\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">He still peppered his remarks with claims that the US was funding his opposition and appeared to sympathise with the Capitol Hill rioters (Biden called it \u201cridiculous\u201d to compare them to Russia\u2019s opposition). But there was hope, however ephemeral, for progress. \u201cThere is no happiness in life, only glimmers of it. Cherish them,\u201d Putin said, paraphrasing Tolstoy. He looked rather upbeat.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"08f5b145-5b7e-443a-aea0-4949e0baada7\" class=\"dcr-10khgmf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/42f63157118d299f653ee4a2c1e317a7134da75f\/161_39_5298_3600\/master\/5298.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=42e03fbb17e304452409bf2edd54eac2\" alt=\"Russian president Vladimir Putin, left, talks with US president Joe Biden, right, during the US - Russia summit in Geneva\" height=\"3600\" width=\"5298\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Russian president Vladimir Putin, left, talks with US president Joe Biden, right, during the US - Russia summit in Geneva\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/42f63157118d299f653ee4a2c1e317a7134da75f\/161_39_5298_3600\/master\/5298.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=42e03fbb17e304452409bf2edd54eac2\" height=\"3600\" width=\"5298\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb\"><\/noscript>Russian president Vladimir Putin, left, talks with US president Joe Biden, right, during the US &#8211; Russia summit in Geneva Photograph: Peter Klaunzer\/AP<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Biden, who spoke second, said he believed that Putin \u201cwas not looking for a cold war\u201d. \u201cIt was important to meet in person. I did what I came to do,\u201d said Biden. He claimed that he had threatened Putin with retaliation if 16 kinds of critical infrastructure were targeted with cyber-attacks, but said the conversation was \u201cnot hyperbolic\u201d. \u201cThere\u2019s been too much of that going on,\u201d he added, saying that within the next six months to a year, \u201cwe\u2019ll find out \u2026 whether we have a strategic dialogue that matters\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">The meeting took place inside a book-lined library, where Putin and Biden, the fifth American president the Russian leader has met since 2000, shared stock phrases with muted expressions, speaking the language of diplomacy but hardly one of affection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cMany questions have accumulated in Russian-American relations that require discussion at the highest level and I hope our meeting will be productive,\u201d said Putin in a masterclass of understatement, as Biden nodded along.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cThank you. It\u2019s always better to meet face to face,\u201d Biden responded. He called both countries \u201cgreat powers\u201d, something that the Russian president, who apparently bristled when Barack Obama called his country a regional power, would very likely appreciate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">This was Putin\u2019s first time venturing out of Russia since last year, facing criticism of sheltering in a \u201cbunker\u201d as he forced anyone wishing to see him two weeks quarantine in a Russian hotel. Shortly after dawn on Wednesday, journalists in Putin\u2019s pool queued outside the Mandarin Oriental hotel for express PCR tests administered by Kremlin doctors flown in from Moscow.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"e1c0a707-1530-4253-8c18-36e5c6941473\" class=\"dcr-10khgmf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/7341a3e54b81c492b2da4c5035bd1cad503b3169\/0_116_3500_2101\/master\/3500.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=00c6002128605a6aa3f598ff61ba5331\" alt=\"Joe Biden discusses with journalists at the end of a news conference after the US-Russia summit with Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin\" height=\"2101\" width=\"3500\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Joe Biden discusses with journalists at the end of a news conference after the US-Russia summit with Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/7341a3e54b81c492b2da4c5035bd1cad503b3169\/0_116_3500_2101\/master\/3500.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=00c6002128605a6aa3f598ff61ba5331\" height=\"2101\" width=\"3500\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb\"><\/noscript>Joe Biden discusses with journalists at the end of a news conference after the US-Russia summit with Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin Photograph: Reuters<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Across a bridge pro-democracy activists hung a banner bearing an image of jailed politician Alexei Navalny. Swiss police in a skiff removed it in less than five minutes, fishing the banner from the waters beneath the Pont de la Coulouvreni\u00e8re and spiriting it away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">In truth, Putin had little besides coronavirus to fear in his first meeting with Biden as president. The Russian leader has maintained a dialogue with the US despite his invasion of Ukraine, the novichok poisonings in Salisbury and of Navalny, his alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential elections and his backing for Belarusian autocrat Alexander Lukashenko. Topics that raised his anger, like the potential for Nato accession for Ukraine, he appeared to simply ignore. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing to discuss,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">It was Biden who had to exorcise the ghost of Helsinki, facing down Putin and showing he had restored balance to the United States\u2019 foreign policy, just as he had sought to reassure allies in the UK and Brussels during his 10-day European tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cOver this last week, I believe the United States has shown the world that we are back with our allies,\u201d said Biden. \u201cWe rallied our fellow democracies to make concerted commitments to take on the biggest challenges our world faces, and now we\u2019ve established a clear basis on how we intend to deal with Russia and the US-Russian relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--noindex--><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2021\/jun\/16\/little-left-to-chance-in-carefully-curated-geneva-summit\">Source<\/a><!--\/noindex--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting goes as well as could be expected as Biden and Putin speak language of diplomacy \u2013 but hardly one of affection 01:31Joe Biden meets Vladimir Putin at Geneva summit \u2013\u00a0video in Geneva Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin hadn\u2019t even sat down before tensions boiled over at the 18th-century Villa La Grange, a fine Swiss [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest-news-from-russia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
