Ambassador Anatoly Antonov was recalled to Moscow for consultations on "what to do and where to go in the context of relations with the US."
In an interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, Biden responded to a question about whether he thought the Russian leader was a killer by saying: "I do."
Biden's remarks were met with scorn in Russia. Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said Biden's remarks showed “hysteria from impotence” and constituted an insult to the Russian Federation.
Secretary of the General Council of the United Russia party and first vice-speaker of the Federation Council Andrei Turchak said that Biden's remarks constituted “an extreme degree of aggression caused by impotence."
“Biden’s statement is just a triumph of the political insanity of the United States and age-related dementia of their leader,” Turchak added, according to the Russian press service.
In the interview, Biden also accused Russia and Putin specifically of interference in the US elections and promised that Putin would pay "a price" for that interference.
British Ambassador: Russia Must Give Crimea Back to Ukraine . . .
As Ukraine moves trainloads of tanks, heavy artillery, weapons, ammunition, and now, troops, toward the borders of breakaway states of Luhansk and Donetsk, this past weekend they have also began putting that same military power on the border of . . . Crimea.
Folks who pay attention to such things wondered, why now? Today, we seem to have gotten an answer.
Today, March 16, British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons wrote this on Twitter.
"Seven years ago, Russia held a sham “referendum” in an attempt to legitimise its illegal control of the peninsula. The UK will never recognise this blatant disregard for Ukraine and international norms. Our message remains clear: Russia must return Crimea to Ukraine," the ambassador wrote.
In what appears to be the start of a large public relations push, word went out to news media which read:
On March 16, 2014, contrary to Ukrainian legislation and the legislation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a so-called "referendum" on the status of Crimea was held in the Russian-occupied Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. According to the official data of the aggressor state, 96.77% of Crimean residents allegedly supported the annexation of the peninsula to Russia, while 95.6% of Sevastopol residents "voted" in favor of joining Russia.
Two days later, on March 18, 2014, the so-called agreement on the accession of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation was signed at the Kremlin.
Most UN member states and other international organizations declared the Crimean referendum falsified by the occupiers illegitimate.
So it seems that the world NOW knows who is actually behind the coming war troubles in Ukraine: The British.
After seven years of relative quiet in eastern Europe, Ukraine is suddenly moving tanks, armor, and troops to the border of Crimea, and as all that war-fighting equipment is put in-place, the British Ambassador comes out with this public relations push.
Gee, how convenient.
One might see "the writing on the wall" that an actual war is about to begin in eastern Europe, with Ukraine trying to "take back" Crimea from Russia.
Keep an eye out for WHICH mass-media outlets pick up this "story" and push the same line as the British Ambassador.
After all, the mass-media nowadays is little more than a propaganda mill for whoever is in government, so the media pushes whatever line they're told to push to the public.
Watch carefully in the next few days. Whatever is going to take place, is likely to begin quite fast. My bet: War.
