俄美首脑峰会后，双方分别召开发布会

当地时间16日下午17时25分左右，俄美首脑日内瓦峰会结束。会议结束后，一名美国白宫官员表示，16日举行的美俄首脑会晤时长比预期短。美国政府此前预计会晤将持续四到五个小时，但正式会谈在持续了三个多小时后提前结束。

会后，俄罗斯总统普京和美国总统拜登分别召开新闻发布会。 

普京率先召开新闻发布会，在提及网络安全问题时，普京呼吁美俄两国放弃相互指责，表示两国首脑原则上达成一致。

普京呼吁美国加强北极地区的合作，他在新闻发布会上表示美方对于俄方在此地区强化军事的担忧是“没有根据”的。普京反对任何限制北极航线的举动。

普京表示，正如预见的一样，拜登在会谈中提及人权问题。普京表示，美国没有资格就人权问题对俄罗斯说教，他提到了美国国内的现状和问题，如美国一些人受警察（暴力）执法致死，美军杀害了120名阿富汗安全部队成员等。

拜登在稍晚召开的新闻发布会上称，俄方在会晤中同意与美方建立双边对话机制，讨论战略性稳定话题，包括对危险复杂的新型武器研发进行监控。在此次峰会后未来半年到一年间，美俄两国或将继续进行战略性对话讨论更多细节，例如释放俄籍囚犯、应对网络攻击等。

关于网络攻击问题，拜登称在会上向俄方提供了一份被定义为关键安全基础设施的清单，其中包括从能源部门到供水系统约16个实体，拜登主张禁止攻击关键基础设施。

拜登指出，普京无意与美国开展“新冷战”。他说，此次美俄双方对话总体上是良好的、积极的，并且达到了预期，即在会晤期间确定美俄双方可合作的实际工作领域，与俄罗斯进行直接的面对面沟通。

U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting on the sun-drenched shores of Lake Geneva lasted less than four hours – far shorter than Biden's advisers had said they expected. But it could signal a turning of the tide in Russia-U.S. relations as the two leaders made constructive comments on a number of key areas of policy.

There may not be complete agreement on some contentious issues but Biden had said his objective to outline "some basic rules of the road" had been achieved. After leaving the talks, Putin said: "the conversation was absolutely constructive."

Putin, who was the first to brief reporters, said Russia and the U.S. shared responsibility for nuclear stability and would hold talks on possible changes to their recently extended New START arms limitation treaty. Biden, who Putin described as "seasoned," tactfully repeated the message, telling the world that the U.S. and Russia are two "powerful" and "proud" nations."

Key points:

• Biden told Putin that "human rights is always going to be on the table" in discussions between the leaders or their countries. However, Russia said it would not take lessons on human rights citing issues with gun crime and the Capitol protests in Washington last year.

• Putin said the two nuclear powers have a "special responsibility for strategic stability in the world," while Biden confirmed that they both agreed preventing Iran from gaining access to nuclear weapons was important and that Putin would "help" with those conversations.

• U.S. concerns over Russia's militarization of the Arctic were unfounded, according to Putin, who stressed he was certain the two countries could cooperate in the field. 

• The Russian leader sounded hopeful on a possible prisoner exchange, stating there "may be compromises" with the U.S. government and that he saw a "glimpse of hope" for a more trusting relationship going forward. 

Cybersecurity cooperation?

Putin confirmed that both sides had "reached an agreement in principle" to launch expert analysis of cyberattacks and where they originate from. Biden explained further that the group would be tasked with defining what was off-limits and investigating specific cases. The Americans have given Putin a list of 16 areas, including water and electricity supply, that they see as part of their vital infrastructure and should never be subject to cyberattacks.

Both sides had said in advance that they hoped for more stable and predictable relations, even though they were at odds on various topics from arms control and cyber-hacking to election interference and Ukraine. 

The U.S. had requested information on 10 separate cybersecurity incidents from Russia, and Putin claimed Washington had received "exhaustive" answers in all cases.

"Russia sent 45 such requests to the U.S. last year and 35 this year. And we have not received a single answer," Putin said. "The largest number of cyberattacks in the world are carried out from the U.S. space."
