US President Joe Biden has said that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, will regret his attempt to interfere in last year’s US election.
Speaking to ABC television, Mr Joe Biden also said he “thought” the Russian president was a murderer and “he will the price” for interfering with the 2020 US poll.
Biden’s comments come after a US declassified intelligence report on Tuesday bolstered longstanding allegations that Putin was behind Moscow’s election interference, by proliferating “misleading or unsubstantiated allegations” largely designed to denigrate Joe Biden and boost Trump’s re-election, some fed through allies of Trump.
The assessment was contained in a 15-page report published by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Tuesday afternoon.
It underscored allegations that Trump’s allies played into Moscow’s hands by amplifying claims against Biden by Ukrainian figures with links to Russia.
Moscow has denied a US report published last Tuesday, accusing President Putin of trying to overthrow Joe Biden’s presidency and show support for former President Donald Trump.
A Kremlin spokesman said that the US allegations were baseless.
