>Russia fired back at President Biden over his comments about Russian
>President Vladimir Putin during his press conference after the NATO summit
>in Washington, calling Biden�s remarks �absolutely unacceptable.�
>
>�We continue to consider it absolutely unacceptable and impermissible
>behavior for a head of state to make such disrespectful remarks about
>other heads of state,� Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, according
>to Reuters. �I am referring to his remarks about President Putin.�
>
>In his first solo press conference of the year, Biden said Putin instilled
>fear in Europe. The president had just concluded days of meetings with
>international leaders, including allies of Ukraine.
>
>�For those who thought NATO�s time had passed, they got a rude awakening
>when Putin invaded Ukraine,� Biden said Thursday. �Some of the oldest and
>deepest fears in Europe roared back to life because, once again, a
>murderous madman was on the march.�
>
>Peskov said the remark does not make Biden look good.
>
>�This is something that we pay direct attention to and something that is
>absolutely unacceptable to us,� he said.
>
>During his speech, Biden also slammed former President Trump for the
>relationship he has with Putin.
>
>Shortly before beginning his press conference, Biden mistakenly referred
>to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as �President Putin,� when
>introducing him at a NATO event. He quickly corrected himself.
>
>Later in his remarks, he accidentally said his second-in-command was �Vice
>President Trump.�
>
>Peskov said the �whole world paid attention� to his gaffes.
>
>Both the NATO summit and the press conference were seen as critical
>moments for Biden, who faces a growing number of calls for him to step
>aside and let someone else take on former President Trump in the election
>this fall.
>
>Peskov told reporters that it wasn�t Russia�s place to have an official
>comment.
>
>�It is understandable that they probably received such a wide resonance
>given the context of the internal political discussions that we are now
>witnessing in the U.S.,� he said of Biden�s gaffes, �but it�s not our
>topic, it�s an internal U.S. topic.�
