Joe Biden “provided an explanation that I found satisfactory.” So Vladimir Putin replied to reporters who asked him if in the summit just concluded the theme of the title “killer” that had been addressed to him in an interview by the US president had been touched. “I have seen firsthand that Biden is a very experienced person,” Putin said, noting that the face-to-face with the US president lasted two hours. “You don’t have such long conversations with all leaders,” Putin said.
