Biden: Putin is a murderer and he will suffer the consequences

The President of the United States Joe Biden stated that he believes that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is “a murderer” and warned that “he will suffer the consequences”, in an interview broadcast today by the television network ABC, reports APE.

Asked by a reporter if he considered the Russian president “a murderer”, Joe Biden said: “Yes, I do.”

The US president said that Vladimir Putin will face consequences because he led efforts to turn the 2020 US presidential election in favor of Donald Trump and that these consequences will come soon.

“He will pay a price,” Biden told ABC News. Asked what that price might be, he replied “you will see soon”.

The US president made the remarks after a US intelligence report released on Tuesday supported allegations that Putin was behind Moscow’s involvement in the US election, a accusation that Russia has dismissed as baseless.

At the same time, Biden pointed out that “there are things in which it is in our mutual interest to work together,” such as the renewal of the START agreement on nuclear weapons, and added that the two leaders know each other.

“I know him relatively well,” Biden said, adding that “the most important thing in dealing with foreign leaders, in my experience, is just knowing the other person.”
