We won’t congratulate US, Biden, on Independence Day, says Russian president

President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, will not be congratulating his United States counterpart Joe Biden on Independence Day.

This, according to Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson of the Russian President, came this year as a result of the country’s “unfriendly” policy towards Russia.

This year, the congratulatory telegram will not be sent,” Peskov said on a call with newsmen.

“This has to do with the fact that this year marked the culmination of an unfriendly policy towards our country by the United States,” Peskov added, saying that “it can hardly be considered appropriate” to send congratulations in these conditions.

The Informant247 observes that Putin and Biden had not dialogued since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
