Putin says does not worry about Biden's "killer" claim

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that President Biden's characterization of him as a "killer" was "not something I worry about in the least" — though he did not reject the description outright, Report informs, citing New York Post.

In March, Biden told ABC News's George Stephanopoulos, "I do," when the anchor asked the president if he believed Putin was "a killer." At the time, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded by calling Biden's remarks a "very bad statement," indicating that Washington "doesn't want to normalize relations."

"I'm always guided by the interests of the Russian people and Russian state, and sentiments in terms of who calls somebody what and what kind of labels, this is not something I worry about in the least," Putin continued. "President Biden, of course, is radically different from Trump because President Biden is a career man. He has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics. So that's a different kind of person, and it is my great hope that yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements on behalf of the sitting US president."
