Kremlin,<\/p>\n
The Kremlin on Friday slammed Joe\u00a0Biden’s “very\u00a0aggressive\u00a0rhetoric” after the new US president said Washington’s relationship with Moscow would change and demanded opposition politician Alexei Navalny’s release.<\/p>\n
“We’ve already said that we will not heed patronising statements of this sort. We will not do it,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.<\/p>\n
“This is very\u00a0aggressive\u00a0and unconstructive\u00a0rhetoric.”<\/p>\n
President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman acknowledged a “huge amount of differences and different approaches to key issues” but he also indicated that Moscow wanted to continue cooperation with Washington under\u00a0Biden.<\/p>\n
“We expect to see Americans’ political will to continue cooperation where this serves our interests,” he said.<\/p>\n
In toughly worded remarks pivoting from his predecessor Donald Trump’s muted approach to Moscow,\u00a0Biden\u00a0on Thursday warned of “advancing authoritarianism” in China and\u00a0Russia.<\/p>\n
He said the United States would no longer be “rolling over in the face of\u00a0Russia’s\u00a0aggressive\u00a0actions” and demanded the release of Putin’s jailed critic Navalny who this week was sentenced to nearly three years in prison on old embezzlement charges.<\/p>\n
Biden\u00a0said there were areas where he was willing to work with the Kremlin, notably the New START treaty on curbing nuclear weapons, which the two countries extended for five years this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
