US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for a bilateral summit in Geneva today.

It was the final and arguably most significant stop on Mr Biden's first overseas trip since taking office in January. He previously attended the G7 summit in Cornwall and met with NATO leaders in Brussels.

Those were all chummy affairs between allied nations. Russia, on the other hand, remains an adversary of the United States, giving Mr Biden's meeting with Putin an unmistakable undercurrent of tension. Ahead of time, the US said it was aiming to build a more "stable and predictable" relationship with Russia.

So, was any progress made? Speaking to reporters afterwards, Mr Biden insisted he "did what I came to do". But he also snapped when asked about the prospect of Putin actually changing his behaviour.
