Kremlin on US Cold War: We are preparing for the worst

The Kremlin said today that it always hopes for the best, but is prepared for the worst, when asked about the possibility of a new Cold War between the United States and Russia.

“We, of course, always hope for the best, but we are always ready for the worst,” the Kremlin spokesman was quoted as saying by APE-MPE. Dmitry Peshkov, commenting on the possibility of a new Cold War between the US and Russia, after the statements of the American president, who in an interview with the ABC television network said that Russia will pay a price for its interference in the American presidential elections and characterized “Killing” President Putin, and the vague US reaction to the Russian president’s proposal to have a direct discussion between the two presidents. According to Peshkov, “Observers and analysts make their living by making such predictions”

“As far as the Russian Federation is concerned, I must say that the President has clearly stated his desire to continue the relations between the two countries, because this is in the interest not only of our two countries, but also in the interest of the whole world, “said Peshkov, adding that” however, we can not ignore Mr. Biden’s statements. “

Asked how the Kremlin would deal with a possible refusal by the US to hold an open dialogue between Putin and Biden, Peshkov said Putin had suggested such a discussion. “In fact, he made this proposal, responding to Biden’s very bad wording. “I could only describe it as ‘bad,'” Peshkov said, noting that the Russian president said, “It just makes sense to talk to each other, it makes sense for Russia-US relations to continue.”

“This is the worldview and this is the approach of the President of the Russian Federation Putin, but of course I can not say anything about the potential approach of President Biden,” Peshkov said.
