Biden will challenge Putin on human rights

– I want to make it clear to him that we do not want to sit still and just watch him violate human rights, Biden said on Sunday.

The summit between the two takes place at a time when tensions between the United States and Russia are higher than in many years.

Since Biden became president, sanctions have been imposed on Russia over alleged Russian role in SolarWinds hacking and interference in the 2020 election.

The poisoning of Alexei Navalny, the situation in Ukraine and most recently Belarus, which forced a plane carrying a dissident to land in Minsk, has also helped to sour the relationship.
