Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in response to a request to comment on US President Joe Biden’s words about the Russian leader that Russian President Vladimir Putin would never stoop to the level of personal insults.
US President Joe Biden earlier again tried to insult Russian President Vladimir Putin by calling him a “dictator”, the White House press pool said.
“You know that our president never descends to such a level, to the level of personal insults against his colleagues. He certainly has a personal opinion about this kind of style of statements and statements. But the president – I repeat once again – has never stooped to this and will not do so,” Peskov told reporters. Peskov told reporters in response to a question about how Biden could be answered.
This is not the first time Biden has made undiplomatic remarks about a foreign colleague. In March 2022, during a visit to Warsaw, Biden, speaking about Putin, made the assertion that the Russian leader “cannot remain in power.” The White House later rushed to explain these words, assuring that Biden was not calling for a change of power in Russia. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that it was not for Biden but for the people of Russia to decide who would lead the state.
During a visit to a Ukrainian refugee camp on the border between Poland and Ukraine, a journalist asked the US president what he thought of Putin in the context of the events taking place in the neighbouring country. “He’s a butcher, that’s what I think,” Biden replied. Before that, he had twice said that he considered the Russian president a “war criminal.” Peskov called such rhetoric from the leader of a country whose bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world and which dropped atomic bombs on “a country that had already been defeated” unacceptable and inexcusable.
