Key takeaways from the Biden-Putin summit | DW News

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have concluded a high-stakes summit in Geneva aimed at cooperation but dominated by deep disagreements.

The leaders' first in-person meeting since Biden became president took place at a lakeside villa amid soaring tensions between their two countries.

As talks ended after less than the five hours either side thought they would need, Biden gave a thumbs up. Members of the US team said the meeting had been "quite successful."

After the meeting, the two sides released a joint statement on one of the main topics of discussion, nuclear proliferation. The statement read, "Nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought."

Putin: Joe talks about his family and his conversation with his mother which is irrelevant but show his personality.

that is an insult there

[jumbobillion]

"He recalled his family and conversations he had with his mother. Whilst not directly related to the proceedings..." Calling Biden senile in the nicest way possible lol

Oh, Biden was worried about Navalney. Bet he is also worried about Snowden and Assange the same way. God bless western values^^

[kpakilealexandreniambalamo]

Do you guys really think Putin is looking for any show of respect from any western power? He's got the respect already and necessary power to make any world leader to reckon with. Talking about cyber attacks the US is number one in the world so stop talking nonsense

Biden: "We just do not like for our pipelines to be sabotaged!"
Putin: "Indeed, tell me all about it! 'North Stream 2', remember?"

[mmostgamer]

A lot of people seem not to understand that the important things will not be publicly discussed. These meeting are important because there is some conversations the public should not hear...

[Zov]

Some of DW documentaries are awesome as opposed to their political reports lol
