The Kremlin on Friday described comments about Russia made by U.S. President Joe Biden the day before as aggressive and unconventional, but said they hoped the two countries could overcome the differences and put their co-operation aside where it made sense.
Biden on Thursday promised a new era of U.S. foreign policy in his first diplomatic speech as president and said he had told President Vladimir Putin to expect a more muscular U.S. approach to relations and Moscow.
Biden spoke to Putin by phone last month for the first time since taking office.
“I have made it clear to President Putin, in a very different way from my predecessor, that the days of the United States are over, despite Russia’s aggressive actions, hampering it. our elections, cyber attacks, poisoning its citizens, are over, “Biden said.
Russian authorities deny that he interfered in U.S. elections or poisoned the Kremlin criticizing Alexei Navalny, who was arrested this week by a court in Moscow for close on three years related to a case he says was collected.
