  • Neither Putin nor Biden are expected to issue statements or answer questions on their arrival, with the host, Swiss President Guy Parmelin due to say some words.
  • The AP and Guardian have reported on what it expects in terms of the format of talks:
    • "Biden and Putin first will hold a relatively intimate meeting joined by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Each side will have a translator. The meeting will then expand to include five senior aides on each side. After the meeting concludes, Putin is scheduled to hold a solo news conference, with Biden following suit. The White House opted against a joint news conference, deciding it did not want to appear to elevate Putin at a moment when the president is urging European allies to pressure Putin to cut out myriad provocations."
