“President Biden will also raise America’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and the Belarus issue and the serious concerns he has been publicly expressing.”

The idea of ​​meeting was given by Biden in a phone call with Putin in April.

The timing of the meeting is important because the Biden administration is criticizing the arrest of Putin’s opposition Alexei Navalny in Russia and Alexander Lukashenko’s rule in Belarus. There has been a demonstration against Lukashenko for a year, but he has the support of his close Russians.
