Russia recalls US ambassador after Biden attack

THE Ambassador of Russia to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, revoked for consultations, said the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova today Wednesday (17/3).

According to tass.com, the statement said that “Russia’s Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov has been invited to Moscow for consultations on how he will work in relations with the United States.”

The ambassador’s recall follows a dispute between the United States and Russia in recent months over various issues, including the poisoning of Alexei Navalny.

Biden: Putin is a murderer

Earlier, 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.”
