Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday urged his US counterpart Joe Biden to “look in the mirror” after calling him a “murderer” during a television interview.
Putin, who wished him “good health” apart from any kind of irony, has claimed that people “always project onto others what they think of themselves,” according to information from the Sputnik news agency.
“There have been difficult, dramatic and bloody events in the history of the two countries. But when we approach someone, when we talk about other states and other peoples, we always look at ourselves in a mirror,” he clarified before he insisted. that “We always see ourselves there.”
For example, Putin has responded to Biden’s controversial comments following a US intelligence report that the Russian government interfered with the Nov. 3 presidential election in favor of now-former President Donald Trump.
“The statements of my American counterpart concern me personally. What could I answer him? I would say: stay healthy!” In this sense, he has wished him good health and made it clear that he is not being ironic or playing a joke.
However, he has indicated that the United States must take Russia’s interests into account, whether it wants to or not. “The United States and its government in general have a tendency to seek some kind of relationship with us, but only in areas that favor their interest and only on their terms,” he said.
“Although they think we are the same, we are very different people. We have different genetics, cultural differences and moral codes … They will have to accept it in spite of all efforts to undermine our development. Despite the sanctions and insults she will have to live with it, ”he said.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zajarova has accused Washington of leading bilateral relations into a “dead end.” “Not only that, but they’ve also done the same with their own ideology,” he assured.
In addition, he lamented the “demonization” of Russia by the United States, which he believes has “reached its limit”. “This is a sign that they already need to change something in themselves, invent new steps and, best of all, get back to reality,” he stressed.
