During the conference call with the reporters, Peskov also mentioned that they will proceed accordingly and noted that there was nothing like that in history. But Peskov did not answer when asked if the Kremlin could go as far as cutting the diplomatic ties with the United States.
In addition, the upper house deputy speaker of the Russian parliament, Konstantin Kosachev shared that Biden made a boorish statement and it marks a watershed. Kosachev also added that such assessments are inadmissible for a statesman of his rank and those statements were unacceptable under any circumstances as it could lead to cut the bilateral ties of both nations.
Kosachev also warned the US that the response of Russia would not be limited to recalling the Russian ambassador if the side of the US will fail to offer any explanation or excuse about the statements. But the upper house deputy speaker of the Russian parliament would not explain further as to what action Russia might be taking, Washington Post reported.
Meanwhile, as Russia announces its decision in recalling the Russian ambassador in Washington, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman of Russia, Maria Zakharova blamed the US for putting their bilateral ties to a dead end. She also added that Kremlin is interested in preventing the irreversible degradation only if the Americans will be aware of the associated risks.
