Russian-American Relations At The Verge Of Breach Due To Invasion Of Ukraine

Russia has warned the United States that their diplomatic relations are in danger of dissolving because of the invasion of Ukraine.

Over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Moscow warned that relations with the US are ‘on the edge of a breach.’

As he summoned the US ambassador to publicly protest President Joe Biden’s portrayal of Vladimir Putin as a “murderous dictator,” the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed to “recent deplorable statements” by Biden regarding Putin.

‘It was highlighted that utterances such as these by the American President, which are unbecoming of a state person of such a high position, put Russian-American relations on the verge of a rupture,’ the Russian government stated after meeting with US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan.

Last week, Biden described Putin as ‘a murderous dictator, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine.’

He had earlier called Putin a ‘war criminal,’ which Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said was ‘unacceptable and inexcusable.’

The summons was an indication that the US-Russian relationship is deteriorating, as the Kremlin continues its invasion of Ukraine and the US leads western partners in tightening the economic noose around Russia in reaction.
