Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied that the Kremlin had a hand in cyberattacks on U.S. businesses and infrastructure ahead of his meeting with President Joe Biden.

Biden is expected to press Putin on allegations that Moscow sanctioned cyberattacks against U.S. interests, including the SolarWinds breach that impacted some federal agencies. The FBI and White House officials have said Russia-based cybercriminal gangs have conducted ransomware attacks against several firms recently, including against the Colonial Pipeline system and major meat-producer JBS Foods.
