President Joe Biden is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next month in their first face-to-face meeting since Biden became president.

The day-long summit is scheduled for June 16 and is to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, and will cover a wide range of topics, including nuclear proliferation, Russian interference in U.S. elections, climate change, and covid-19, according to The Washington Post.

Biden is also expected to raise concerns over reports of Russian amassing troops on its border with Ukraine.
