In a conversation with the SHOT Telegram channel, the press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, responded to the news of US President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race.

He reminded that Russian President Vladimir Putin had earlier stated that the predictable candidate Biden was more preferable for the Russian Federation.

"There are still four months until the elections, and this is a long time during which many things can change. You have to be patient and watch carefully what happens next. Our priority is to achieve the goals of the special military operation," said the representative of the Kremlin.
