Earlier, Biden did not rule out the imposition of sanctions against Putin personally in the event of an escalation around Ukraine.

"It's not painful, it's politically destructive," he said at a briefing with reporters.

Peskov added that the introduction of restrictive measures is not painful for representatives of the top leadership of Russia.

Earlier, the first deputy head of the international committee of the Federation Council, Vladimir Dzhabarov, in an interview with RT, expressed confidence that the statement of the American president was erroneous.

According to him, Biden has repeatedly made mistakes in answering questions.
