President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin said at separate press conferences following their Wednesday meeting in Geneva that the two countries have agreed to start negotiations on a framework to prevent cyberattacks.

Putin, who was the first of the two leaders to talk to reporters, said of the overall tone of their meeting that, “there is no hostility, quite the contrary,” adding that “both sides showed a willingness to understand one another and to find ways to bring our positions closer together.”
