Russian President Vladimir Putin described US President Joe Biden as a 'constructive, balanced and professional' person during a press conference after their meeting in Geneva on Wednesday.

"If you asked me what kind of interlocutor and partner President Biden is, [I can say he] is a very constructive, balanced person, as I expected, very professional, it is evident right away. He remembered a little about his family and so on, about what his mother talked to him about, these are such important things. They do not seem relevant to the case, but nevertheless they show his level and quality of moral values, this is all quite attractive. And it seems to me that we generally spoke the same language", said Putin.

The summit was the first in-person meeting between the two presidents since Joe Biden took office.

Earlier, the politicians met in Moscow on March 10, 2011. At that time, Vladimir Putin was the Prime Minister of Russia, and Joe Biden was the US Vice President in the Barack Obama administration.
