The Kremlin says US President Joe Biden’s branding of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as a “butcher” lowers the chances for an improvement in ties between Moscow and Washington, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Still, a state leader should keep their temper,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov is quoted as saying by the official TASS news agency.
“And, of course, each time such personal insults narrow the window of opportunity for our bilateral relations under the current [US] Administration. It is necessary to be aware of this,” he adds.
