Biden Prepares to Meet With Putin This Week
President Biden’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva this week marks the latest chapter in a highly adversarial relationship.
Biden has always been blunt in his assessments of Putin, telling the Russian leader to his face a decade ago that he believes he has “no soul” and calling Putin a “killer” in a televised news interview earlier this year.
White House allies say that Biden will go into the meeting with open eyes and well-prepared to confront Putin over Russia’s aggressive conduct and to lay out consequences for further provocations.
