The summit is expected to set the direction of the relationship between Russia and the Biden administration. It was extensively reported that disputes about election interference; cyber and ransomware attacks; human rights; the poisoning and imprisonment of Alexei Navalny; and the Russo-Ukrainian War hung over the summit, which would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two men since President Biden took office in January. Strategic nuclear stability and regional conflicts will also be on the table.
