Putin concluded by saying that the two presidents have many issues that need to be discussed, wishing that the talks would be fruitful.

"The summit meeting between Putin and his American counterpart will not witness the signing of any documents," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Peskov repeated what he had previously said that "the Putin-Biden summit cannot become historic and breakthroughs must not be expected."

The day after the summit between President Biden and President Putin, Acting United States Secretary of the Navy, Thomas Harker, announced the withdrawal of the funding provision for sea-launched nuclear cruise missiles from the 2023 defense budget.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he would discuss with his US counterpart the situation in Syria and Libya, as well as issues related to the protection of the environment and other global issues, hoping that it helps to establish a meeting with Biden in a dialogue between the two countries and the return of personal contacts.

And the White House had announced that President Joe Biden would hold a press conference alone after the summit, saying that this was the "appropriate way" to address the topics they discussed.
