Putin also added that he and Biden need to restore personal contacts, establish a direct dialogue and create "really functioning mechanisms of interaction."

Earlier, Putin urged not to flatter oneself in connection with the decrease in negative rhetoric from the United States towards Russia before his meeting with Biden.

On June 4, Peskov said that Putin and Biden are planning to talk both one-on-one and with the participation of members of the delegations and assistants.
