WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Americans have sent letters to the Russian Embassy in Washington slamming President Joe Biden’s insulting remarks about President Putin as “disgraceful” and “crass”, adding that they do not want Russians to feel that he was speaking on behalf of the whole nation.
In a Tuesday interview, Biden told ABC News that Vladimir Putin would have to “pay a price” for alleged interference in the 2020 US presidential election. The US leader was also asked if he considers the Russian president a “killer” and he replied in the affirmative.
The remarks appear to have become the straw that broke the camel’s back in a litany of uncorroborated US accusations against Russia – ranging from Putin-led “influence operations” to undermine Biden in the 2020 election and a massive cyberattack on US computer company SolarWinds to Russian bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan.
The next day after the interview, Russia invited its ambassador in Washington Anatoly Antonov back home for consultations on the future of bilateral relations. The ambassador landed in Moscow on Sunday morning.
