Biden: Putin is tough and worthy adversary

United States President Joe Biden called on Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin as “bright and though,” adding, ahead of the talks between the two leaders, that Putin is a “worthy adversary.”

Answering a question of whether he still deems the Russian president is “a killer,” during a press conference in Brussels, Biden stated that his answer was honest, but dropped its significance in regard to the upcoming meeting in Geneva.

Biden revealed that Russia will be given a chance to “decide in which area it wishes to cooperate,” underlining that Putin’s reluctance to collaborate in a field such as “cybersecurity” will be responded, “in kind.”
