US and Russian delegates will hold talks in Geneva under the Strategic Stability Dialogue which Biden and Putin committed to when they met in the city last month.
Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin agreed at their meeting in Geneva in June to have a “deliberate and robust dialogue, that will seek to lay the groundwork for future arms control and risk reduction measures.”
The dialogue will take place this Wednesday at an undisclosed location and will be led by US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman. Bonnie Jenkins, who was recently confirmed as US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control, and International Security will also be at the talks.
The talks come amid tensions on several fronts between the two countries, with Washington threatening Moscow with action if Russia does not stop a wave of cyberattacks that US officials say originate largely from its territory.
Russia has denied all responsibility.
