A senior Russian lawmaker, Konstatin Kosachyov, on Thursday said that the country demanded an apology from the United States of America due to President Joe Biden’s accusation of President Vladimir Putin as a killer.
Reuters report that Biden has in an ABC News interview broadcast replied “I do” when asked if he believed Putin was a killer.
Biden also described the Russian President as having no soul and he would pay for the alleged meddling with the US 2020 presidential elections.
Russia recalled its ambassador the United States on Wednesday stating that it needed urgent consultations over the future of U.S-Russia ties.
Kosachyov, who is the deputy chairman of parliament’s upper house, said Biden’s comments were unacceptable, would inevitably inflame the already bad ties and ended any hope in Moscow of a change of U.S. policy under a new U.S. administration.
He said Moscow’s recall of its ambassador was the only reasonable step to take in the circumstances.
“I suspect it will not be the last one if no explanation or apology follows from the American side,” Kosachyov said in a Facebook post.
“This kind of assessment is not allowed from the mouth of a statesman of such a rank. This kind of statement is not acceptable under any circumstances,” he added, calling it a watershed moment in U.S.-Russia ties.
The Kremlin has not yet responded publicly to Biden’s comments, but is likely to do so later on Thursday.
Artur Chilingarov, a pro-Kremlin lawmaker in the lower house of parliament, called for a “tough reaction” from Moscow in comments made to Russia’s Ekho Moskvy radio station.
Russia’s ties with the West, already languishing at post-Cold War lows since 2014, have come under new pressure over Russia’s jailing of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny whose freedom the West has demanded.
Russia has dismissed that as unacceptable interference in its domestic affairs.
The United States has said it is preparing new sanctions against Russia over an alleged hack and the alleged election meddling.
Biden told ABC “You’ll see shortly” when asked what consequences Russia would face for its alleged behaviour.
