Russia vents as Joe Biden says Vladimir Putin is a ‘killer’
Russia’s ambassador in the US is set to return to Moscow for urgent consultations. The embassy in Washington warned that relations with US President Joe Biden’s administration were on the brink of collapse.
Russia has ordered its US ambassador to return to Moscow after President Joe Biden said he believed his Russian counterpart was a killer.
Diplomats warn that relations are close to complete breakdown after Biden also said that Russian President Vladimir Putin would face retaliation for election interference.
In an ABC news interview, Joe Biden said “I do” when asked if he believed Putin — who some accuse of ordering the assassinations of his political opponents — was a killer.
Biden also respoded to questions about a US intelligence report that Putin tried to harm his candidacy in the November 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump’s.
“He will pay a price,” said 78-year-old Biden. “You’ll see shortly.”
