The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned US Ambassador John Sullivan to protest the recent unacceptable statements of White House President Joe Biden about the Russian President.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, it was noted that this kind of statement, unworthy of a statesman of such high rank, puts US-Russian relations on the verge of breakdown.  The Foreign Ministry warned that the hostile actions taken against Russia will be firmly and resolutely opposed.

"In discussing topical bilateral issues, the ambassador was acutely asked to ensure normal conditions for the work of Russian diplomatic missions in the United States, including guarantees of their uninterrupted functioning," the report noted.
