At Summit, Biden and Putin Agree to Address Proliferation of Cyberattacks

A highly anticipated first summit meeting between President Biden and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was described by both sides as a series of polite but adamantly stated disagreements about which country is the greater force of global disruption. In dueling news conferences on the edge of Lake Geneva, a traditional site for two of the world’s most powerful antagonists to discuss their differences, the two leaders committed to the creation of working groups to deal with urgent issues, starting with arms control and the proliferation of cyberattacks.
