On Monday, the Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with President Biden sometime this summer, although a date has not been set. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said a location for the summit has not been determined.
President Biden proposed an in-person meeting with Putin in a phone call earlier this month. After the call, Biden escalated tensions with Moscow by imposing a wide array of sanctions on Russian officials and entities and expelling Russian diplomats.
Besides the sanctions, President Biden has strained ties with Russia by using incredibly hostile rhetoric. In an interview last month, Biden agreed that Putin is a “killer” who has “no soul.”
Tensions have also been high between the two nuclear powers over Ukraine. In recent weeks, US officials have hyped the movement of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border and have reaffirmed their “unwavering support” for Kyiv. Amid the tensions, the US has delivered multiple shipments of military equipment to Ukraine.
President Biden has said that despite the tensions, the two countries can work together in certain areas, such as arms control. But besides agreeing to extend the vital nuclear treaty New START, the Biden administration has made no progress towards new arms control treaties with Moscow.
When Trump had a summit with Putin Helsinki, the roof caved in. All the msm attacked him for that as well as for meeting Lavrov in the Oval Office. The political heat was so great that Trump had to pull back.
Let us see how the media treats Biden for doing the same.
Putin agrees to summit!?
Basic question is why; what is to be gained by meeting with a govt which has long been designated as “non-agreement capable.” Guaranteed that any, say again, any agreement biden, when he is awake, would do would be broken within months if not days.
One can hope that he will drag along nuland, which will essentially guarantee that there will be no meaningful agreement.
Putin agreed to the meeting because he is a statesman unlike the rest of the riff raff.
Yes i can hear Biden know , Putin you killer do as we say or ELSE .lol.

A little off topic with a piece about US-Turkey ties and the Armenian genocide being recognized by Biden.
This comes on the heels of a story at One World which clearly implicates US NGOs extensive operations across Armenia. I’m not sure Armenians are all that fond of Washington.
