Biden trifft Putin, Spannungen steigen

By Jordi Bou

June 16, 2021 - US Präsident Joe Biden wird den russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin in Genf, Schweiz, treffen, obwohl es derzeit die größte Krise in den Beziehungen der beiden Staaten gibt.

In their face-to-face sit-down in Geneva, Biden wants to pressure Putin on a myriad of issues, including cybersecurity attacks on American businesses by Russian-based hackers, the jailing of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and repeated overt and covert efforts by the Kremlin to interfere in U.S. elections.

The Kremlin said in a statement that the two leaders would discuss bilateral ties, problems related to strategic nuclear stability, and other issues including cooperation in the fight against COVID-19 and regional conflicts.

Biden and Putin are set to hold their June 16 summit in an 18th-century Swiss villa overlooking Lake Geneva, a soothing setting for what promises to be heated talks.
