As one of the most highly anticipated political events of the year, the Putin-Biden summit drew to a close earlier than scheduled in Geneva. Convened at a time when U.S.-Russian relations have been at rock bottom, it was the first meeting between the two leaders since Biden took office in January. What did they discuss? What is the future of U.S.-Russia relations, and how will that relationship affect the global situation?

To answer these questions, we’ve invited Cui Hongjian, Director of the Department for European Studies at the China Institute of International Studies; Prof. Robert Kelly from the Department of Political Science of Pusan National University; and Russian Defense Analyst Pavel Felgenhauer.
