Ahead of a visit by U.S. President to Russia, the two leaders had a detailed discussion of nearly every point on their agenda and schedule in Moscow.

In particular, the presidents placed significant emphasis on the topic of reducing strategic nuclear weapons. They discussed various aspects of the nuclear weapons issue, in accordance with the positions that have been reached by the two countries’ negotiating teams. The two leaders agreed to instruct their negotiators to intensify efforts in order to reach concrete results.

Both sides expressed their confidence that the upcoming summit will provide great momentum and create a more productive atmosphere for bilateral relations, and allow the presidents to get to know one another better.
