Biden: Putin is a “killer” and will soon pay the price for his interference in the American elections
US President Joe Biden described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “murderer” in his strongest description, threatening him that he would pay the price for his attempt to interfere in the American elections.
Biden said in an interview on the American “ABC News” channel, that “Russian President Vladimir Putin will face consequences for directing his efforts to influence the results of the US presidential elections that took place in 2020, in favor of Donald Trump.”
Biden added that he had warned Putin of a possible response during a lengthy call in late January.
Biden confirmed that Putin would pay the price, and in response to the question about what consequences he intended, he said, “You will see soon.”
He also responded to a question about whether he believed that Putin was a “killer” in the recorded interview by saying “I think so,” without going into details.
Biden noted that “there are places where it is in our common interest to work together,” such as renewing the START nuclear agreement, adding that the two leaders have a known history.
His comments followed an unclassified 15-page CIA report released on Tuesday, confirming the Kremlin’s online interference in the US presidential election that promoted Donald Trump and right-wing conspiracy theories in an attempt to discredit Biden.
