Bayden gave Putin glasses. But no one promised that they would be pink. Report from Geneva

At eight in the evening on June 16, having left the gate of the La Grange Park protected by the police armored car, a motorcade of US President Joe Biden flew along the embankment of Lake Geneva. He moved towards the airport, from where at that moment the board No. 1 with Vladimir Putin just rose to the sky.

The President of Russia took with him the sunglasses donated by Bidena and the crystal sculpture of the American bison. In the baggage of Biden, according to the results of the meeting, a gifted set of Moscow with Khokhlomskaya painting was a gifted set. Already not bad for the first time.

Their meeting began at the Villa La Grange (whose huge park, in such a solemn occasion, was densely surrounded by the careful attention of hundreds of people in civilian, police and army, as well as barbed wire and the second row of fence structures) at 13.20 and was so pleasant, saturated and fruitful, which, it seems, would have the opportunity to again finally meet in the registration area Geneva airport, they would not have used it.

Or maybe in vain. Who knows when they see each other next time. At least Putin told at his press conference after the meeting that Biden did not invite him to visit. “I have not made such an offer yet,” the Russian leader emphasized almost without resentment.

By the way, their meeting, which was followed only in Geneva, watched the fifty of journalists ended at least half an hour earlier than planned. On the initiative of Biden.

There were no well-known technical reasons for this: the 46th president of the United States none and none of the premises drove. He also did not be late at the airport: he began his press conference half an hour after the end of Putinskaya, and left later.

At the same time, the US president was shorter in his answers and left the journalists after half an hour.

While Vladimir Vladimirovich almost an hour equally an equally in a benevolent voice answered the questions of his and foreign media officers and patiently extended the press conference. Quoting on her Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy and addressing an exalted message to the 9-year-old daughter of an American journalist.

And only on two questions he could not suppress his hidden anger: Ukraine and Navalny.

***

First of all, answering the question of a Russian employee of the media, he shared the only specific result of the summit (and not the declaration of intent): the ambassadors of the United States and Russia "are returning to the place of their permanent service." And there is an intention to start "the analysis of blockages on the diplomatic track."

The second question of the same employee was Ukraine. Putin first stated that Ukraine was discussed very briefly and, “as far as I understood the President of Biden, he agrees” that “the basis of the settlement of the conflict” (which, according to previous Putin's statements, is “intra -Ukrainian”) “Minsk agreements should lie”. As for the possible accession of Ukraine to NATO, this question was “mentioned in passing,” the owner of the Kremlin only said ._

The next question concerned agreements on the reduction and limiting of strategic nuclear weapons and gave Putin a pleasant opportunity to put Russia on one level with the United States. “We are the two largest nuclear powers in the number of warheads, and in terms of the number of delivery funds, and in terms of level and quality of modern nuclear weapons,” the Russian president emphasized, noting that “in the United States of America and the Russian Federation there is a special responsibility for strategic stability in the world.” At the same time, the parties have only agreed to start consultations “under the auspices” of the State Department and the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation.

It was decided to start consultations in matters of cybersecurity, Putin said, and explained for a long time that, “according to information from American sources”, most cyber attacks in the world are “from American territory”.

That Russian objects also suffer from them and that the Russian side gives answers to all Washington’s requests regarding such attacks, and Washington did not answer “not one”. At the same time, Vladimir Vladimirovich mercifully emphasized: “I don’t think” that “the official authorities (USA) are interested in the manipulations of this kind.”

And he called for “discarding all sorts of insinuations” and “at the expert level to sit down and start working” on ensuring cybersecurity around the world.

Then there were CNN questions about Russian aggression in Ukraine and the persecution of the Russian opposition and specifically Navalny. By answering the first question (“regarding Ukraine, we have only one obligation - to contribute to the implementation of the Minsk agreements”, “we do not conduct exercises among the US borders”, and our USA is conducting, and so on), Putin moved to the discussion of the sins of “our non -systemic opposition and a citizen whom you mentioned”.

Putin assured that his main political opponent “knew that he was anonymous“ knew that he was violating the law in Russia, ”because“ he was obliged to be celebrated as a person, twice sentenced to a conditional extent of punishment. ” “Ignoring this requirement of the law,” “This gentleman went abroad for treatment.” And he stopped celebrating.

Why “this citizen” had to “go” abroad for treatment, Putin did not clarify. Is there any little things when the “person who is twice convicted” “ignores the requirements of the law”?!

“He was not required by authorities to register. As soon as he left the hospital and posted his videos on the Internet, such a requirement arose. He did not appear. I ignored the requirement of the law. He was put on the wanted list. Knowing this, he arrived. I get out of what I wanted, deliberately went to be detained. He did what he wanted. Therefore, what can we talk about? "

Yes, really, what? It’s not about rubbing the Gulfy “novice” ... And not about the content of “video shows”, which were posted “this master”. Therefore, Putin moved to the main thing. Built - in the best traditions of hybrid logic - a chain connecting the “this gentleman” and other “non -systemic opposition” of the Russian Federation with the US authorities. “So, the United States declared Russia its enemy and enemy. <...> On the basis of the legislation of the United States, the provisions are made that the United States should maintain the rules and procedure for democratic management in our country and support political organizations. <...> Now let's ask ourselves: if Russia is an enemy, then what organizations will America support in Russia? I think that not those that strengthen the Russian Federation, but those that restrain it. ”

“So, these are organizations and people who contribute to the implementation of the United States policy in the Russian direction,” Putin continued, then asking himself: “How should we relate to this?” And having answered: "We must relate to this with alertness, but we will act exclusively within the framework of Russian law." Many innocently convicted, including “prone to escape” by Navalny, could tell how these “frames” can be told.

Then Putin moved to the answer to the questions of an employee of the VGTRK. On one of them (that "the new stage in Russian-American relations at the start of the presidency of Biden began with a very rude statement to you"), the President of the Russian Federation answered: "What can I say about ... We all know these statements." “After that, President Biden called me, we were explained, and these explanations arranged me. He invited us to meet. This is his initiative, ”Putin especially noted, who again did not fall before the explanation of how Bayden managed to push this“ initiative ”.

“We (with Biden) met, and, I repeat, there was a conversation,” said Putin, who assured that today “there was no hostility, on the contrary, our meeting took place in a fundamental way.” And "on both sides, the desire to understand each other and look for ways to bring positions was demonstrated."

Then there was a long story about how the United States themselves violate human rights - both in their country and in other corners of the globe: Iraq, Afghanistan. Then he talked about the Arctic for a long time and on what grounds (only on the most legal) Russia is ready to cooperate with the United States in this part of the planet ... Then - again to the question of the American media: about why he attacks the opposition, what he is afraid of.

Putin recalled that in the USA “since the thirties” there is a law on foreign agents and that in Russia “announcement of a foreign agent does not stop activities in a particular organization”.

Another thing is if the organization is recognized as "extremist." Putin, not calling the FBK ( recognized in the Russian Federation as an agent and an extremist organization. - Ed. ), He began, not blushing (even in Geneva and there was +32), to tell that “this organization that you said” “publicly called for riots”, “involved minors” and “publicly gave instructions on how to prepare, for example,“ Molotov’s cocktails ” - “In order to use them against law enforcement agencies, while exposing the installation data of the police.”

Then Putin made a technical transition to the seizure of the Capitol in Washington in January this year: “We sympathize with the Americans and the American people, but we do not want this to happen on our territory. And we will do everything in order to prevent this. And some kind of fear has nothing to do with it. ”

In the end of Putin, having talked a little about the aggressive actions of our American partners (including the “bloody coup in Ukraine”, I decided to be a good wizard. As if missing straight lines with the people. Only this time he turned to the representative of the American people-the 9-year-old daughter of an American journalist, who asked his mother, which was the meaning of this historical summit and why in Russia young people are forbidden to protest.

“It's great that your nine -year -old daughter is interested in these questions,” answered the Supreme Commander of the Russian Federation: “It is very simple to answer. We must look around you and say: you see how beautiful this world is. And adults, the leaders of the two countries, the largest nuclear powers, are found in order to make this world a safe, reliable prosperous house for all residents of our planet. <...> They will talk about environmental protection, that the rivers be clean, the seas are clean, so that there are no floods, there was no drought, so that there is enough food in this regard for all the inhabitants of the planet, wherever they are. They will talk about health care issues so that when the children grow up so that they get sick less, so that they can study and look confidently into the future ... "

Honestly, I almost cried on these words, but, thank God, Vladimir Vladimirovich turned to us, journalists, with a concrete wish and thereby distracted from a sentimental mood and returned it to the work rails again: “I would really like our meeting today, dear ladies and gentlemen, you cover it precisely based on these considerations.”

Having waited half an hour after the Putin press conference, Joe Biden went to the microphone in La Grange Park. At first he expressed satisfaction that his rich 7-day trip to Europe had ended (there were G7, and the NATO summit, and meetings with the EU leadership, and now Putin). Then he repeated that in Russia and the USA - a huge responsibility in the field of nuclear security. And relations between these countries “should be stable and predictable” (Putin at his press conference has already managed to declare that instability and unpredictability is not Moscow, but Washington).

Biden said that he told Putin: my agenda was not directed against Russia and anyone, it is aimed at the well -being of the United States and the citizens of this country. And the United States simply cannot endure when someone harms their interests, interfering in the elections and making cyber attacks ... “I handed him a list of 16 sectors that should not be attacked. Starting with the energy ... ”said Biden. The US President explained that he was trying to reach out to Putin, trying to put him in the place of the head of state, whose most important infrastructure objects were attacked: “ I looked at him ... I asked how you would feel if the extortionists captured your oil pipelines?”

“I showed him that we have a significant cyberpotential ... And if they (again) violate these basic norms, we will answer.”

“We agreed to entrust experts in both of our countries to work on a specific understanding of what is prohibited and monitor the specific cases that occur in other countries,” he added.

Bayden also said that "not a single US president" can but protect fundamental freedoms and human rights "..." That is why we raise a question like Alexey Navalny. " When asked what will happen, “if Navalny die,” Joe Biden replied: “I clearly gave him (Putin) to understand that I believe that the consequences of this would be destructive for Russia.”

“I (also) reported the unwavering adherence of the United States to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. We agreed to continue diplomacy related to the Minsk agreements, and I shared our concern about Belarus. ”

Biden said that he warned Putin: “The United States will respond to actions that harm our vital interests or interests of our allies.” “We united our democratic countries to take on constant coordinated obligations to solve the most serious problems that the world faces. And now we have created a clear basis of how we intend to behave with Russia, ”said the head of the White House, commenting on a seven -day European Command.

He also expressed confidence that Putin is not at all indifferent to measures that have already been taken and can still be taken in response to unfriendly actions: “I am sure that it matters to him ... His authority falls all over the world. Let's figure it out. How would it be if the rest of the world considered the United States as (the country), directly interfering in the elections in other countries, and did they all know this? (...) What he does reduces the authority of the country, which is desperately trying to maintain the status of the largest world power. ”

Baiden is also sure that Putin does not seek real confrontation with the United States, and hinted at one important reason: “I think that the last thing he now wants is a Cold War ...” Baiden explained his guess rationally: if you have many thousands of border with China and your economy suffers, I do not think that you want a cold war with the United States ...

The main thing is that Vladimir Putin, a meeting with which, according to Bayden, has passed “very good, positive”, thought in the same rational way. And then everything happens. Speaking about whether he and the US President managed to reach a new level of trust during the summit, the President of the Russian Federation replied: “You know, Leo Tolstoy once said:“ There is no happiness in life, there is only his lightning. Cherish them. " It seems to me that in such a situation there can be no family trust, but it seems to me that the lightning was flashed. ”

Now the main thing, of course, is to stop playing the Zarnitsa at least on the border of neighboring states.
