On Intelligence Report: Joe Biden Threatens Vladimir Putin, Russia Withdraws Ambassador
JAKARTA - Russia's relations with the United States have warmed up after the Kremlin decided to recall Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov for consultations regarding the future of Russia's relations with the United States.
This summons was made after United States President Joe Biden mentioned the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin to 'pay the price', related to alleged Russian interference to influence the US elections in November 2020.
In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry called for a recall of their ambassador to discuss the future of relations between the two countries to ensure that bilateral relations are not damaged.
"The main thing for us is to determine the way in which the difficult Russia-United States relations that have caused Washington's stalemate in recent years can be repaired," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on her website.
"We are interested in preventing irreversible degradation if America is aware of the risks involved."
This statement was issued after President Joe Biden commented on a report by the US National Intelligence Service, regarding the possible involvement of the Kremlin in influencing the US election.
As reported by VOI earlier, United States (US) Intelligence discovered the possibility of Russian President Vladimir Putin's interference, to influence the results of the 2020 US Election and win Donald Trump, in a report issued on Tuesday, March 16 local time.
In a 15-page report issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, a number of Trump's close friends are 'playing' with Moscow to substantiate claims made against candidate Joe Biden by Ukrainian figures linked to Russia in the run-up to the November 3 election.
In addition, it also mentioned new findings regarding Vladimir Putin who supervised or at least approved, to interfere in the US election and win Trump.
"Washington is expected to impose sanctions on Moscow as soon as next week because of these allegations," said the three sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
