Kremlin criticises Biden’s remarks on Putin, calling them “shameful” and “Hollywood cowboy behavior”. US-Russia tensions persist
The Kremlin on Thursday mentioned it was a “huge shame” that US President Joe Biden had referred to as Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB”.
Biden made the feedback at a speech in San Francisco attended by a small group of reporters, by which he contrasted the danger posed by Putin to the specter of local weather change.
“This is a huge shame for the country itself… for the US. If a president uses that kind of language, it’s shameful,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov mentioned. “It is clear that Mr Biden is demonstrating Hollywood cowboy style behaviour to serve domestic political interests,” he continued.

Biden has a historical past of comparable hot-mic feedback and has been strongly vital of Putin earlier than, saying in 2022 that the Kremlin chief “cannot remain in power”. His remarks come as relations with the Kremlin linger at historic lows over the battle in Ukraine and the dying of Russian opposition chief Alexei Navalny in jail.
The US President has promised to introduce powerful new sanctions towards Moscow over Navalny’s dying, which the White House has blamed on the Kremlin.
