The much-anticipated summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, is underway in Geneva, Switzerland, the so-called “city of peace.”

Biden is expected to press Putin on Russian-backed cyberattacks against American companies. Humans rights and Russian aggression in Ukraine are also White House priorities.

There is some common ground between the two adversaries, including climate change and nuclear arms control. Some sort of joint statement might involve those issues, but expectations on both sides are low for any substantial agreement. It is unlikely that the two leaders will hold a joint press conference.

Politico describes the Biden administration’s game plan headed into the meeting:

The White House said it doesn’t expect the meeting to lead to any major policy agreements, but says it’s the first step to establishing a relationship between the two men, who last met a decade ago.

“We’re not expecting a big set of deliverables out of this meeting,” the administration official said. “I think we expect that there will be areas where the presidents will task out further work to their teams.”

The sit-down, which is expected to last several hours, began with a moment of drama, as the countries’ two press corps jockeyed for position during a photo-op in the 18th-century Swiss villa.

According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins:

There was pushing and shoving and yelling happening outside as all of these reporters were trying to get inside to go in and see these two leaders sitting down with one another, even though of course not all of [the reporters] are sanctioned to be there.

Reporters struggled to hear the presidents’ opening remarks over the press corp hubbub. Putin answered a couple of shouted questions, but his responses were inaudible. Biden appeared to nod when a reporter asked him if he trusted Putin, but the White House asserted that Biden couldn’t hear the question.

Biden called the U.S. and Russia “two great powers,” a phrase that gives Putin more status than previously granted by Democrat presidents. Former President Obama once described Russia as a “regional power,” according to CNN.

“I think it’s always better to meet face to face,” Biden added.
