What to know about past meetings between Putin and his American counterparts

RUSSIA, AUG 8 – Putin held regular talks with U.S. presidents from Bush to Biden to manage arms control and conflicts despite relations hitting Cold War lows, officials said.

  • Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden met once as presidents in Geneva in June 2021 amid growing tensions over Ukraine.
  • This meeting followed escalating strain from Russia's 2014 illegal annexation of Crimea and allegations of 2016 U.S. election meddling.
  • Putin and Biden exchanged mutual respect but reiterated their starkly different views on issues including Ukraine, sanctions, and domestic crackdowns.
  • Biden warned of imposing sanctions should Russia proceed with an invasion of Ukraine, while Putin insisted on assurances that Kyiv would be barred from joining NATO; their three-hour discussion ended without any significant agreements.
  • Contacts ceased after Russia's full-scale Ukraine invasion in early 2022, leading to the lowest point in U.S.-Russia relations since the Cold War and global sanctions.
