Biden intends to raise the topic of human rights at the June meeting with Putin and will not allow him to violate them

US President Joe Biden said that he intends to raise the subject of human rights at a meeting with the head of the Russian state Vladimir Putin on June 16 in Geneva and declare the United States into violation of these rights.

“I will meet with President Putin a few weeks later in Geneva. I will clearly say that we will not wait and will not allow to violate these rights,” Baiden said, speaking in Delaware in connection with the day of commemoration in the United States. The head of the White House also called the United States "a unique country."

He did not bring other details of the upcoming summit.

Biden noted that he was discussing the topic of human rights and during a recent conversation with the chairman of China Xi Jinping.

As expected, Putin and Biden will meet in Geneva on June 16. This will be the first Russian-American summit at the highest level since Putin’s meeting with ex-president Donald Trump in Helsinki in July 2018.

This week, the Kremlin press service said that the Russian-American summit will be held on June 16 in Geneva. The White House confirmed this information. The Kremlin also said that the signing of documents following the negotiations of Putin and Biden is not yet planned. According to the administrations of the two countries, during a meeting in Geneva, the presidents of Russia and the United States intend to discuss the relations of the two states and pressing issues. The administration of Mr. Biden has repeatedly indicated that the meeting, initiated by the American side, is designed to restore the predictability of relations with Russia.

This will be the first personal meeting of Putin with the new US president. Prior to this, the heads of the two states talked on the phone.
