Biden insulted Putin: Kremlin spokesman
PBC News: The US President Joe Biden’s remarks addressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin are in fact personal insults, but the Kremlin will not respond to them with strong comments, bearing in mind the US leader’s fatigue, irritability and forgetfulness, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media.
“We do hear and see statements addressed to President Putin that in fact constitute a personal insult,” he stated, TASS reports.
The Kremlin official said that Biden took the liberty of making such statements virtually every day.
“Bearing in mind Mr. Biden’s irritability, fatigue and forgetfulness, which eventually results in aggressive statements, we will possibly prefer to refrain from making any strong comments so as not to trigger more aggression,” Peskov said.
