The meeting, which took place at an 18th-century villa, lasted three hours and gave the two leaders a chance to discuss a range of issues including cyberattacks, Moscow's crackdown on supporters of democracy and Russian interference in U.S. elections. Biden said he emphasized areas where "there's a mutual interest for us to cooperate for our people – the Russian and American people – but also for the benefit of the world."

Perhaps the most concrete result was an agreement by the two leaders that the U.S. and Russian ambassadors should return to their respective posts in Moscow and Washington.

Putin said the two countries also agreed to start consultations on cybersecurity and on limiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Putin also suggested the countries would work to find some compromise on the mutual exchange of prisoners.
