The Kremlin on Friday criticized U.S. President Joe Biden for making verbal blunders and unkind remarks about Russian President Vladimir Putin during a recent NATO summit.

Biden mistakenly introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as 'President Putin' and mixed up other names, igniting discussions about his mental acuity. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that while these mistakes were noteworthy, they were primarily an internal U.S. issue.

Peskov expressed concern over Biden's description of Putin as 'a murderous madman,' calling such behavior from a head of state unacceptable. He underscored the Kremlin's stance that these remarks are disrespectful and unseemly.
