Russian President Vladimir Putin said he expected his summit this week with US President Joe Biden to help establish dialogue between the two countries, on Sunday.
Biden will meet Putin on June 16 in Geneva for a summit amid strained bilateral relations on a wide array of issues.
Putin said Russia would be ready to hand over cyber criminals to the United States if Washington did the same for Moscow and the two powers reached an agreement to that effect, the Interfax news agency reported on Sunday.
The White House has said that Biden will bring up ransomware cyber attacks emanating from Russia at the June 16 summit.
