President Putin hit back at President Biden after the US leader called him a “killer”, as relations between Moscow and Washington deteriorated.
“It takes one to know one,” Putin said today. He said the phrase, which is more commonly used in Russia during school playground rows, had a “deep psychological meaning”.
Mr Putin further invited Mr Biden for a live debate.
“I’ve just thought of this now,” he told a Russian state television reporter. “I want to propose to President Biden to continue our discussion, but on the condition that we do it basically live, as it’s called. Without any delays and directly in an open, direct discussion. It seems to me that would be interesting for the people of Russia and for the people of the United States.”
