The logic of "look who's talking" was invoked again on Thursday by Vladimir Putin's "insider" Dmitry Peskov after Joe Biden called the Russian president a "war criminal".
Speaking at a press conference in Moscow, Peskov said Biden's statement was "unacceptable, unacceptable, unjustified." "And most importantly, the head of a state (the US) that has been bombing people around the world for many years, that dropped nuclear bombs on a country that had already been defeated, I mean Hiroshima and Nagasaki, has no right to make such statements," Peskov said.
LETTER BY LTER ALL DEVELOPMENTS
[/P]In response to a reporter's question on Wednesday, Biden had said he considered Putin a "war criminal." The Russia-Ukraine war, which began on Feb. 24, has sparked international outrage, led to economic sanctions on Moscow and caused Western companies to flee Russia.
More than 3.1 million refugees have fled to neighboring countries, according to the U.N.
The Kremlin also announced that Russia has invested too much energy in talks to reach a peace agreement with Ukraine, which could very quickly end the Russian invasion of the country.
"Our delegation is making colossal efforts and appears more ready than the other side," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"If we agree on a document, if all its conditions are met and it is implemented, then it will be possible to stop what is happening very quickly," he continued.
When asked about the Financial Times article, according to which Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress in drawing up a peace plan, the Kremlin spokesman replied.
Peskov also called unacceptable the description of a "war criminal" used by US President Joe Biden against his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Peskov added that the US has no right to scold Russia as it has been involved in many conflicts.
At the same time, the Kremlin spokesman assessed that many people in Russia turn out to be traitors, referring to those who quit their jobs and leave the country.
