Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the United States was an opponent of Russia even though efforts to normalise ties were underway.
"(The United States) can hardly be called a partner. It is more like an opponent or a 'vis-a-vis'," Peskov said. "Still the fact that experts are sitting in Geneva today is a positive sign."
Peskov also rejected Biden's allegations that Russia was already interfering in the United States' 2022 mid-term elections, Reuters reported.
