Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin's summit: Live updates as US and Russia meet in Geneva

Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden shake hands ahead of their meeting in Geneva.

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for a bilateral summit in Geneva today.

Russia, on the other hand, remains an adversary of the United States, giving Mr Biden’s meeting with Putin an unmistakable undercurrent of tension?

Ahead of time, the US said it was aiming to build a more “stable and predictable” relationship with Russia.

Speaking to reporters afterwards, Mr Biden insisted he “did what I came to do”.

But he also snapped when asked about the prospect of Putin actually changing his behaviour.

Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have both left Geneva now, so we'll leave the blog here.

– Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin held their summit in Geneva.

– Asked about cyberattacks, Putin said the United States, not Russia, needed to stop them;.

– Asked about his crackdown on political dissent, including his treatment of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Putin indicated he was not going to change his behaviour.

– Mr Biden told reporters Putin had agreed to set up a "bilateral strategic stability dialogue", which he said would help the US and Russia avoid an "accidental war";.

– He said he'd warned Putin that Russia will face "devastating consequences" if Mr Navalny dies.

However, Mr Biden did not specify what he would do in response;.

Reporter Kaitlan Collins asked why he was "confident" that Putin would change his behaviour.

It is true that Vladimir Putin has not changed his behaviour in the past, despite all sorts of pressure from the international community?

Given that context, Collins asked how Mr Biden could be confident that the meeting with Putin today was constructive.

Mr Biden did, at least, apologise, though he proceeded to complain that reporters "never ask positive questions".

But if you're in politics, you know what you signed up for – and Joe Biden has been in politics for decades and decades.

What would be the point of that.

IDK, personally insulting an American female journalist abroad and complaining about a lack of positive questions from the press seems like a pretty bad message to send at a summit with Putin.

On the tarmac, when he was about to board Air Force One, Joe Biden walked over to reporters to apologise for snapping at Kaitlan Collins at the end of his press conference.

I shouldn't have been such a wise guy with the last answer I gave," Mr Biden said.

"I think at the heart of it was this question of whether or not you seem overly optimistic, given that we all listened to President Putin essentially say the same old things he's said forever," he said.

"But the thing that always amazes me about your questions – and I apologise for having been short about this one – if you were in my position, would say, 'Well I don't think anything's going to happen.

In the first one, he was asked about a remark he made during a meeting with Vladimir Putin years ago.

A reporter brought up Vladimir Putin's response to questions about his treatment of political opponents in Russia.

Lemire asked a follow-up, pushing Mr Biden to reveal what he will do if the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, dies.

"I made it clear to him that I believe the consequences of that would be devastating for Russia," said Mr Biden.

He want on to say that Russia could not afford to violate international norms, because that would erode its standing, and it needed investment from other countries to thrive.

Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin had agreed to set up a "bilateral strategic stability dialogue".

Mr Biden hopes the dialogue with Russia will "reduce the risk of unintended conflict".

On cybersecurity, Mr Biden said he had given Mr Putin a list of "critical infrastructure" that should be off limits for cyberattacks.

"So, we agreed to task experts in both our countries to work on specific understandings about what is off limits, and to follow up on specific cases that originate in either of our countries."

The Russian President was asked about cyberattacks during his own press conference

That is too much of what's been going on," the President said

"Where we have differences, I wanted President Putin to understand why I say what I say, and why I do what I do, and how we'll respond to specific kinds of actions that harm American interests

"I told President Putin my agenda is not against Russia, or anyone else

"I also told him no president could keep faith with the American people if they did not speak out to defend our democratic values, universal and fundamental freedoms that all people have, in our view

I made it clear to President Putin that we will continue to raise issues of fundamental human rights."
