The statement added: \u00abThe current situation stems from Washington\u2019s deliberate policy. As a matter of fact, Washington has been deliberately driving bilateral cooperation to a dead end in the recent years. The U.S. administration\u2019s non-constructive policy towards our country is in the interest of neither Russia nor the United States and certain reckless statements of U.S. senior officials pose a threat of utter collapse to bilateral relations, which are already excessively confrontational.\u00bb<br><br>Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the Soloviev Live YouTube channel on Thursday that Antonov will stay in Russia for consultations for as long as it takes.<br>\u00abThe consultations will take place not only in the Foreign Ministry, but also in various government agencies. How long will it take? Exactly as long as the consultations themselves will take,\u00bb she said.<br><br>Deputy Speaker of the Russian Federation Council (the upper house of parliament) Konstantin Kosachev commented on Biden\u2018s statement on Facebook on Thursday:  \u00abSuch remarks cannot be tolerated under any circumstances and will inevitably raise tensions between our countries. The recall of the Russian ambassador to the U.S. for consultations is a prompt, adequate and the only sensible response in such a situation. I suspect that if the U.S. fails to provide an explanation and apology, it won\u2019t end there,\u00bb the senator pointed out.<br><br>\u00abThis is a fault line. These boorish remarks have killed off all expectations that the new U.S. administration will pursue a new policy towards Russia,\u00bb Kosachev noted. According to him, \u00abevaluations like these from a statesman of such a high rank are generally unacceptable.\u00bb The Russian senator stressed that the remarks had come from the president of the country \u00abthat drops a bomb somewhere in the world every 12 minutes, according to expert estimates. As a result, the deaths of more than 500,000 people have been linked to U.S. actions since 2001. Could you comment on that, Mr. Biden?\u00bb Kosachev said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, referred directly to the current state of Biden\u2019s mind. \u00abI met with incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden at various international events,\u00bb Medvedev pointed out, reported TASS. \u00abHe gave the impression of a reasonable person then,\u00bb he added. \u00abHowever, it seems that time hasn\u2019t been kind to him,\u00bb Medvedev said, declining to give further comment. \u00abI can only quote Freud: \u2018Nothing in life is more expensive than illness and stupidity.\u2019\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian Response to Biden Won&#8217;t End with Recall of Ambassador March 18, 2021 (EIRNS)&#8211;Following President Biden calling President Putin a \u201ckiller\u201d in a set up by CNN, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov has been recalled to Moscow, and will leave Washington on March 20, according to a statement by the Russian Embassy.
