The Kremlin spokesman on Tuesday believed that the US president’s visit to Ukraine on Monday will not affect Russian internal politics because “it is not an extraordinary event,” the Efe agency reported.
“I do not think that a visit by the US president, including to Ukraine, is an extraordinary event for us that can influence our internal policies,” said Dmitri Peskov, quoted by that Spanish news agency.
However, the Europa Press news agency also said, citing Peskov’s statements to Russian television channel 1TV, that Russia was following “very closely” Joe Biden’s visit to Kiev, where he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, Russia will “remain sovereign and pay no attention to anyone”.
Let’s remember that the priority is with us and our agenda.
In the same speech, Peskov said he still does not believe Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will “personally” follow Joe Biden’s speech in Poland scheduled for today: “Of course we will inform you about this, as we usually do, with documents, reports and the like,” quotes Europa Press.
Regarding Biden’s speech, the Kremlin spokesman said that “it is very likely” that the US president’s speech is “a continuation of Russophobia”.
Joe Biden, who is in Poland to mark Ukraine’s first year of war, announced a new aid package of more than $500 million in Kiev on Monday, including long-range weapons and even other weapons “never been provided before”. .
The US president also revealed that Washington will impose new sanctions against the elites and corporations that aid Russia’s “war machine”.
