Russian President Vladimir Putin can meet with his American counterpart Joe Biden in Reykjavik, said in conversation with RIA Novosti Scientific Director of the US Institute and Canada Round Academician Sergey Rogov.
He recalled that in 1986, the President of the USSR and the USA Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan, which became a turn in the first cold war from the exacerbation of tensions in the first cold war, was held in Reykjavik. “This would allow Putin and Biden to fix that formula that Gorbachev and Reagan recorded that there should be no nuclear war that there could be no winners in the nuclear war,” the horns explained.
The least probable place of negotiations of Putin and Bayden, he called the capital of Finland. “The meeting in Helsinki would be a support for Biden, he would be the object of the same ridicule and tough criticism, as at one time [US President Donald] Trump,” said academician.
At the same time, he called not to build illusions, since no breakthrough in Russian-American relations is foreseen. “But the conversation of two presidents shows that it is possible to stabilize these relationships, to prevent their further deterioration, but also to achieve agreements on a number of issues with the weakening of military tension and the danger of war, which has recently increased,” the horns concluded.
On Tuesday, April 13, Biden called Putin and invited him to meet in the coming months on the territory of the third country. The American leader noted that it still hopes to build “stable and predictable” relations with Russia.
Full-quality meeting Putin and Trump took place on July 16, 2018 in Helsinki. Then the presidents spoke almost four hours and were satisfied with the dialogue.
