President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Joe Biden’s comment that he “crazy son of a bitchdemonstrated why the Kremlin thought so For Russia, Biden is preferable as US President Donald Trump.

“We are ready to work with any president. But I think that for us, Biden is the preferred president of Russia, and judging by what he just said, I’m absolutely right.”

“The point is not that he will tell me: ‘Volodya (short for Vladimir), thank you, well done, you helped me a lot,’” Putin said. “He asked me what was best for us; I held it then and I still think I can repeat it: Biden.”

The Kremlin stated this earlier. Biden demoted the US for words about Putin at a fundraiser in San Francisco.

Earlier this month, the Russian president said he preferred Biden to Trump as US president because he “more experience” and it was “predictable”.

At the event, Biden also said that it has always been threat of nuclear conflictalthough climate remained an existential threat to humanity.

“The use of such language by the US president in relation to the head of another state is unlikely to influence our president, President Putin,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier on Thursday. “But it demeans those who use this dictionary.”

Peskov said the comment was “probably some kind of trying to look like a Hollywood cowboy. But I honestly don’t think it’s possible.”

“Has Mr. Putin ever used a harsh word against himself? This never happened. Therefore, I believe that such language demeans the United States itself.”

He later added in statements to a state television journalist: “This This is a shame for the country itself“I mean the United States.”

The war in Ukraine, the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and US claims that Russia plans to place nuclear weapons in space have sparked an outbreak the biggest crisis in relations between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

Some Russian and US diplomats say they cannot remember a time when relations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers were worse, including the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Biden said last week after prison officials announced Death of Navalny in a Russian penal colony, which was “The consequences of what Putin and his thugs did”. Navalny previously accused Putin of trying to kill him, but the Kremlin rejected the accusation.

Biden said in a speech in Warsaw in 2022 that Putin “cannot remain in power.” The White House downplayed the comment, while hardliners in Russia called it proof that the US wanted to overthrow Putin.

In 2021 Biden said Putin seemed like a killer to him. The Russian president said Biden called him later to explain why he used those words.
