Kremlin lashes out after Biden aims barb at Putin

The Kremlin has responded angrily after US President Joe Biden directed a barb at Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden called Putin a “killer” in an interview, sparking outrage in Russia.

A spokesman for the Kremlin said that Biden’s comments were “unacceptable” and accused him of worsening relations between the two countries.

Putin himself reacted with restraint, saying that he wished Biden good health and that countries must treat each other with respect.

The incident is likely to further strain already tense relations between the US and Russia, which have been at odds over a range of issues including Ukraine, Syria, and alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
