Russian and American officials have been conducting "the deepest in recent years" negotiations in recent months, including on arms control and cybersecurity. This was reported by The New York Times.

The publication claims that since the June meeting in Geneva between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, delegations of senior Washington officials have visited Moscow at least three times. In parallel, meetings were held on the territory of third countries, including Switzerland and Finland.

Anne Neuberger, Deputy Adviser to the President of the United States for Cybersecurity, also took part in the negotiations. According to the newspaper, she held a series of "quiet, virtual meetings with her Kremlin counterpart." Russia, in particular, was given names and other information about hackers who attack American enterprises and institutions, the newspaper notes.

One of the newspaper's sources said that at the moment, arrests are expected in the White House following the transfer of information. This will test the seriousness of the words of the Russian President about plans for cooperation in the field of cybersecurity.
