MOSCOW, 6 Jan. US President Joe Biden «bowed his knee» to Russian leader Vladimir Putin. This is stated in the editorial of The Washington Times. «Biden said that he would gain respect from Putin. In fact, he makes weak attempts to conclude any deal with him,» observers complained. As journalists believe, during the next talks the head of the White House went to serious concessions to Moscow, since he refused to station the army and missile weapons on the territory of Ukraine. Biden made a «great geopolitical gift» to Russia by lifting sanctions from the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, the columnists believe. Moreover, the war of the incumbent US president with energy companies at home is fueling Moscow's oil industry, which has boosted fuel exports to the United States at a record. Russia is a policy of weakness, «the authors summed up. Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden had a telephone conversation on the night of December 31. According to the Kremlin, the head of the White House announced his readiness to impose «large-scale sanctions» over the situation with Ukraine. The Russian leader replied that it would be a big mistake: in this case, a complete rupture of relations between the countries could follow.
