Russia has recalled its ambassador to the US for consultations, blaming President Joe Biden and his administration for leading relations between Moscow and Washington down a “blind alley” during his first weeks in office.
The move highlights the growing tensions between Moscow and Washington as Biden has taken more confrontational approach than his predecessor Donald Trump towards Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president.
Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for Russia’s foreign ministry, on Wednesday said Anatoly Antonov, Moscow’s ambassador to the US, had been summoned home for talks on “preventing an irreversible deterioration in relations”.
The decision was disclosed after US intelligence released an unclassified report concluding that Putin authorised “influence operations” intended to support Trump’s bid for re-election in the 2020 presidential campaign and damage Biden.
The Biden administration has also been critical of the detention of Alexei Navalny, the Russian dissident, and backed protesters demanding his release. During an interview with ABC on Wednesday, Biden said Putin would “pay a price” for interfering in the election and responded “I do” when asked if he believed that Putin was “a killer”.
A state department spokesperson said it was “aware of Moscow’s recent decision to recall their ambassador to the United States”. They added Washington was “committed to open channels of communication with the Russian government, both to advance US interests and reduce the risk of miscalculation between our countries”.
The state department spokesperson said there were no plans to respond by recalling John Sullivan, the US ambassador to Russia.
“The work he and the rest of the dedicated US diplomats in Russia do every day is vital to advancing American interests and our bilateral relationship,” the spokesperson said.
The US is considering imposing additional sanctions on Russia in response to Navalny’s detention, election interference, and the SolarWinds hack — a wide-ranging cyber espionage campaign directed at the US government and US companies.
These further measures are expected to be announced by the White House in the coming days, said two people familiar with the matter.
“Our relationship will look different. We will be direct, we will speak out on areas where we have concerns, and . . . certainly Russia will be held accountable for the actions that they have taken,” Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, told reporters on Wednesday. “We will have more on that soon.”
Methinks the self-proclaimed “Exceptional Nation” is not long for this world.

Is Jerry taking time off from “Tom & Jerry”?
This is all quite deliberate and calculated designed to ramp up tension…..
Anything to distract from the current situation…..this pathetic crypto jew Biden is TOLD WHAT TO SAY.
There wont be any war with Russia…..but one thing you can be sure of…..there WILL be more trouble in the Middle East….how else will the Jews manage to steal more land for Greater Israel.
Syria will be gradually dismembered……which will remove Lebanons protection…..and the cowardly Israelis wont want to repeat the debacle of their last invasion of this country…..therefore they will want to use the USA to do it for them….and die for them.
The question is how?…..another false flag seems the only option…..
The United States the most powerful country in the world led by this utter prick “dementia joe” Biden…..it is almost like something you would read ina “dime store novel”….or see on CNN or read in the Jewish despots Bezos comic The Washingstein Post..
Putin can’t be blamed for protecting Russia’s interests. Tensions are rising on more than one front and being called a killer is unheard of on this level. Joe/the USA can not be taken serious any longer at the moment by Russia. The most dangerous enemy is the one who does not know what he is doing.
Most likely all smoke and mirrors. The biggest thing going on in mega politics right now is still the Covid scam. We have to know what Russia which was on again and off again with the scam is getting out of it. With Trump pointing the finger at China, Xi stopped playing the game for a while, as if a kid picking picked up his marbles, saying not fair and going home. Trump who was also Covid lite is put off the stage and replaced with a completely lobotomized globalist puppet to sign away all obstacles and usher in all of the Resets on steroids. China goes back to playing Covid lite and Russia continues it its role playing the diversion of increased tensions in order to help take attention off the sick Covid elephant in the the living room of our lives.
Want to know why Putin is hated by Zionists and Biden?
