Journalists could be seen fighting for space to get a good angle of US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin as staff were struggling to organise the situation, as both leaders met in Geneva on Wednesday.

"They can't control themselves," security personnel told Putin, who shrugged his shoulders in response.

Both presidents could also be seen smiling as the situation unfolded.

The US and Russian leaders commenced their bilateral meeting at the Villa La Grange in Geneva on Wednesday. The summit is the first sit-down between the two presidents and is expected to last up to five hours, with solo news conferences expected after the meeting.
