Negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden are lasting much longer than planned.
Russian TV presenter Evgeniy Popov stated this on the Soloviev Live Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The negotiations are taking place behind completely closed doors. There was not a single leak from the villa during the entire negotiations. Neither about the agenda, nor about whether the parties agreed on anything or not.
We already understand that the negotiations are lasting longer than expected, despite the fact that Biden was 9 minutes late. however, the scheduled negotiations are already running 40 minutes longer than expected. And the meeting in expanded format began later than planned.
Whether this is good or bad, we will judge when we get at least some results from this meeting,” he said.
Evgeny Popov also spoke about the mood of the negotiation participants before they began.
"What can you say? Biden was in a good mood, Putin was in a businesslike mood. Lavrov was eager to get to work; he kept checking his watch because they saw how disgracefully the American pool had behaved ," the journalist noted.
He added that it is a very rare occurrence when during negotiations there is not a single information leak about their content.
Biden-Putin talks are taking much longer than planned.
