Biden/Putin Summit Ends

GENEVA (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have concluded their summit with an agreement to return their nations’ ambassadors to their posts and a plan to begin negotiations to replace the countries’ last remaining treaty limiting nuclear weapons. But the two leaders offered starkly different views Wednesday over rising concerns about cybersecurity and ransomware attacks originating from Russia. Both leaders, who have stirred escalating tension since Biden took office in January, suggested that while an enormous chasm between the two nations remains that the talks were constructive.
