GENEVA (Reuters) - The issues may be vexing, but the surroundings will be lush and serene when the U.S. and Russian presidents meet on Wednesday in a stately 18th century villa overlooking Lake Geneva.

The first face-to-face meeting between Joe Biden since he became U.S. president in January and Russia's Vladimir Putin could run four to five hours or beyond while they discuss arms control, cyber-hacking and election interference.
