(AP) Geneva can breathe a sigh of relief after hosting a U.S.-Russia summit. President Joe Biden is aboard Air Force One and is on his way back to Washington after Wednesday’s meeting at an 18th century lakeside villa. Russian President Vladimir Putin had already departed for Moscow aboard his plane by the time Air Force One took off. Both leaders flew out of Switzerland after holding solo news conferences after meeting for more than three hours. Security was tight and access extremely limited to areas around the summit site.

GENEVA (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have concluded their summit with an agreement to return their nations’ ambassadors to their posts and a plan to begin negotiations to replace the countries’ last remaining treaty limiting nuclear weapons. But the two leaders offered starkly different views Wednesday over rising concerns about cybersecurity and ransomware attacks originating from Russia. Both leaders, who have stirred escalating tension since Biden took office in January, suggested that while an enormous chasm between the two nations remains that the talks were constructive.
