“Candidate Biden has publicly said that he is ready to extend START or to conclude a new treaty on the limitation of strategic offensive arms.
And this is already a very serious element of our possible interaction in the future, ”the Russian president said.
Putin also commented on the statement of Biden, who during the debate called his opponent, the current US President Donald Trump, "Putin's puppy."
“By the way, when someone tries to humiliate or offend the current head of state, in this case, in the context that you mentioned, they somehow raise you and me, talk about some of our incredible influence and power,” he said he.
The President noted that this, to a certain extent, "pours water into the mill" of Russia.
Putin stressed that Russia will work with any future US leader who is trusted by the American people.
In July 2019, Biden announced that he intends to extend the START Treaty if he wins the 2020 elections.
