Top US general meets with his Russian counterpart in Finland, (CNN) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley met his Russian counterpart for about six hours Wednesday in a "productive" meeting in Helsinki at a time of heightened tensions between the US and Russia.

In recent months, the Biden administration has pressured Russian President Vladimir Putin to crack down on a surge in cyberattacks and ransomware attacks emanating from Russian soil, especially after the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack that shut down America's largest fuel pipeline. But the efforts, including when President Joe Biden met Putin in June, have yielded little results, with no indication that Putin has reined in cyberattacks coming from Russia.
