"He's a well-balanced and professional man with a lot of experience," Putin added. "It appears that we were speaking the same rhetoric.”

US, Russia to begin negotiations on cybersecurity

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the two countries would begin negotiations on cybersecurity.

“There are certain commitments that both parties must accept,” Putin stated.

“We believe that cyberspace is really significant. Putin stated, "In general, and in particular for the US, and to the same degree for Russia."

Regarding Ukraine, the Russian president said that “we are ready to follow the path of the Minsk Agreement," noting what the Ukrainian government is proposing “completely contradicts what is stated in this agreement”.

Putin: "Political leaders are responsible" 

He added, "the United States declared Russia its enemy, as did the Congress in 2017," he asked, "What organizations does Washington support in Russia," if the US administration declared his country an enemy?

If Russia is an enemy of the United States, then the American-backed organizations in Russia will be hostile to Moscow," Putin added.

He stressed that everything that is happening in the US and Russia is the responsibility of political leaders.

Arctic file and mutual cooperation

Turning to the Arctic file, he said, "I spoke with Biden about the Arctic file. The US concern about the militarization of that region is unjustified," stressing "I am confident that we can cooperate with regard to this file." 

Who is to blame for the deaths of Afghan civilians? "Where are the laws that regulate the Western camp?" asked Putin.

Biden: Washington will not tolerate any interference

On his part, US President Joe Biden called the tone of his meetings with Putin "positive", but he warned his Russian counterpart that Washington "will not tolerate" any interference in the US elections.

"I made it clear that we will not tolerate attempts to violate our democratic sovereignty or destabilize our democratic elections, and we would respond," he said.
