MOSCOW. No contact is expected today between Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden since there is “no availability on the part of the US”. This was stated by the spokesman of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov. Putin had offered Biden an “open” confrontation, to be broadcast “live”, last Friday or this Monday, after his weekend outdoors in the taiga with Defense Minister Serghei Shoigu. Tass reports it.
Last week Biden called Putin a killer and said in an interview with ABC that the Russian leader would have to “pay a price” for Moscow’s interference in the 2020 US presidential election. Putin later said he was willing to a confrontation with Biden on March 19th or today, March 22nd.
Russian President Vladimir Putin always has the necessary communication tools with him, including strategic ones, wherever he is. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said this when asked if Putin had his “nuclear briefcase” during his vacation in the taiga. “All the necessary communication tools, including strategic communications, are always with the president wherever he is, both in Russia and in any other country in the world,” Peskov said, quoted by Tass.
