OREANDA-NEWS. Russian leader Vladimir Putin said that the image of US President Joe Biden, which the press portrays, has nothing to do with reality.

“I want to say that the image - the image of President Biden, which our and even the American press portrays, has nothing to do with reality,” Putin said at a meeting with graduates of Stream IV of the Graduate School of Public Administration talent pool development program.

Vladimir Putin noted that his American counterpart Joe Biden looks cheerful and completely in the material: the leaders talked for two and a half hours.

"He looks cheerful, we talked with him face to face for two, maybe more, hours, he is completely in the material. From time to time Biden looked into his notes - we all do that," Putin said during a meeting with alumni IV stream of the program for the development of the personnel management reserve of the Higher School of Public Administration.

"Biden is a professional, and you need to work very carefully with him so as not to miss anything. He himself does not miss anything, I assure you," Putin emphasized at a meeting with graduates of the IV stream of the program for the development of the personnel management reserve of the Higher School of Public Administration.

The day before, the first meeting of the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States, Putin and Biden, took place in Geneva, the negotiations lasted 4.5 hours, including a break.
