Putin-Biden Negotiations To Start At 13:00 Geneva Time On June 16 - Kremlin

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th June, 2021) The meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Joe Biden, will start on Wednesday at 13:00 Geneva time (11:00 GMT) and it is difficult to predict how long it will last, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said.

"[The meeting will start] at 13:00 Geneva time," Ushakov told reporters.

The presidential aide noted that it is impossible to predict how long the negotiations will take, as "everything depends on the mood of the presidents, [discussion of] some problems may take more time than we plan.

"

Ushakov also said that he talked to US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Monday and all the agreements on the format and agenda of the top-level summit remain in force.

Commenting on the venue of the long-awaited negotiations, Ushakov recalled that the Americans proposed Europe "since the very beginning," and then Russia offered considering some European capitals, and the US chose Geneva among these options.
