Russian President Vladimir Putin blasted the bloody American past, calling President Biden’s remarks a reflection of his country’s old and current struggles.
On Wednesday, Biden confirmed that he thinks Putin was a “killer” and promised to make him pay the price of his alleged interference in the last US Presidential Election.
Russian officials said that Putin’s response to the verbal attack won’t be just recalling the Russian ambassador.
“We will proceed accordingly,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “There was nothing like that in history.”
Deputy Speaker of the Russian Parliament Konstantin Kosachev said that the American side should offer an explanation and excuse.
“Such assessment is inadmissible for a statesman of his rank. Such statements are unacceptable under any circumstances. They inevitably lead to a sharp exacerbation of our bilateral ties.”
