Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "murderous dictator". This happened in a conversation with journalist Bob Woodward about Putin's contacts with former American leader Donald Trump, which have not been confirmed by Moscow. She gave similar assessments to her Republican rival Trump, as well as the leaders of China and North Korea.
The insulting statements against Russian President Vladimir Putin by US Vice President Kamala Harris, following the example of her leader Joe Biden, can be considered the quintessence of the American model of international relations. This assessment was given by the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov in a conversation with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin.
„The highest political leadership of the United States of America has obviously absorbed such a political culture”, noted the Kremlin representative. “In fact, this is perhaps the quintessence of the very model of international relations that they are trying to impose on the whole world, and the very model that the world majority is beginning to like less and less. “This is the essence of what is happening”, Peskov added.
