The Kremlin says it followed Biden's visit to kyiv "very closely" but denies that it is something "extraordinary"

MADRID, 21 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Kremlin has assured this Tuesday that it followed "very closely" the visit of the president of the United States, Joe Biden, to Ukraine, although it has indicated that it does not affect Moscow's policy on the invasion of Ukraine in any way.

The spokesman for the Russian Presidency, Dimitri Peskov, has indicated that Biden's visit to Kiev, where he met his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelensky, "is not an extraordinary event for Russia."

Thus, he stressed in statements to the Russian television channel 1TV that the visit "does not affect the internal policies" of the Eurasian country. "Let's continue to be sovereign and pay no attention to anyone. Let's consider that the priority is us and our agenda," he added.

Likewise, he has stated that he "does not believe" that Russian President Vladimir Putin is going to "personally" follow the speech that Biden will give this Tuesday from Poland. "Naturally, we will inform you of this, as we usually do, with documents, reports and the like," he pointed out.

"There is a high level of probability that it can be assumed that (Biden's speech from Poland) will mean a continuation of the concentration of Russophobia and mutual conviction about the new delivery of weapons to increase tension," he has settled, as has picked up the Russian newspaper 'Izvestia'.

Biden traveled to the Ukrainian capital on Monday in a surprise and lightning visit that had been speculated after it was confirmed that he would go to Poland on the eve of the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. From there, he announced another $500 million in aid, a new package that includes long-range weapons and even other types of weaponry that "hasn't been supplied before."

On the other hand, he revealed that Washington will impose new sanctions against the elites and companies that help the "Russian war machine." After that, the National Security adviser, Jake Sullivan, revealed that Washington contacted Moscow "for purposes of detente" before the displacement of the president to kyiv.
