"Joe Biden has already spoken out on many issues, but as far as Russia is concerned, to be honest, there are no special illusions," TASS quoted Polyansky as saying.
He noted that "the focus of American foreign policy remains on the containment of Russia and China, Russia is perceived as an adversary, sometimes an enemy."
“It will be difficult for them to move away from Russophobia and containment of Russia.
We know the people who are in (Biden's) team, and there are no illusions about them, ”Polyansky said.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that Moscow is ready to negotiate strategic stability with the new American administration headed by President Joe Biden.
