The United States and Russia sparred on Sunday about responsibility for debilitating³ cyberattacks as President Biden and President Putin prepared for their Geneva summit on Wednesday. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told ABC's "This Week" television show, "No responsible country should be in the business of harboring criminal organizations engaged in cyberattacks." Blinken said President Biden would "make that very clear" to Putin at their meeting. He said the United States is also "looking for Russian cooperation in dealing⁴ with criminal organizations" that operate from Russian territory. Putin told the state TV channel Rossiya-1 on Sunday that Russia is willing to extradite cyber criminals on an equal basis with the United States if the United States agrees to the same policy. He did not name any specific cases. Blinken said Sunday he believes Biden will be meeting with Putin in a new position of strength after broad agreement on Western goals cemented at the G7 meeting of the leaders of the top industrialized countries and also NATO and European Union meetings this week.

美国和俄罗斯周日就削弱网络攻击的责任进行了辩论，拜登总统和普京总统正在为周三的日内瓦峰会做准备。美国国务卿布林肯在美国广播公司“This Week”电视节目中说，“任何负责任的国家都不应该包庇从事网络攻击的犯罪组织。”布林肯表示，拜登总统将在会晤中向普京“非常清楚地表明这一点”。他说，美国也在“寻求与俄罗斯开展合作，以对付在俄罗斯领土上活动的犯罪组织”。普京周日对国家电视台Rossiya-1频道说，俄罗斯愿意引渡罪犯，那么当然会这么做，但前提是美国也同意引渡罪犯到俄罗斯联邦。他没有列举任何具体案例。布林肯星期天表示，他相信拜登将以强有力的新姿态与与普京进行会晤，因为西方国家此前在工业大国领导人参与的七国集团峰会以及北约和欧盟本周举行的会议上已经就西方目标达成了广泛共识。美国之音新闻。
