Emphasizing that it is important to be in coordination regarding your reactions and expectations in this regard, Biden said: “We did not give Putin any excuse to blame the West or NATO for this. We have made it clear that we are not involved. We had nothing to do with it. It was part of a fight within the Russian system.” he said.

“WE WILL TALK AGAIN”
