Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that he had agreed with his American counterpart, Joe Biden, on the return of the Russian and American ambassadors to Washington and Moscow, in an indication that the meeting was able to melt some of the ice that confuses the relations of the two countries.

Putin said, during a press conference in Geneva after the end of the summit with Biden, that the meeting was fruitful and constructive, and he sought to find common ground to resolve differences between the two countries.

The Russian President mentioned that they discussed strategic stability with his American counterpart, saying that it was agreed to discuss cybersecurity issues.

He added that every problem is solvable if it engages in serious negotiations with Washington.

When Putin was asked about cyber attacks and Washington's accusations of involvement in them, he said that the largest number of attacks targeting the United States come from the American interior and not from Russia.

Putin noted that Biden had agreed to extend the START treaty on nuclear arms reductions for three years.

In response to a question about the opposition Alexei Navalny, who is imprisoned in Russia, he did not mention him by name, he said that he was a citizen who repeatedly violated Russian law and was subsequently arrested.

He said Navalny went abroad for treatment, and when he left the hospital he came to Russia, knowing that he was wanted by justice.

Putin refused to elaborate on Navalny's case, saying that the conference in Geneva was not to discuss Russia's internal issues.

In the same vein, Putin raised the issue of Guantanamo Bay, and questioned his observance of human rights and international law by the United States.

The Russian president said the United States considered Russia an enemy, but said Biden wanted to handle things differently.

Biden and Putin agreed to discuss cyber security issues.
