'Be Healthy’: Putin Responds to US Leader’s Snipe by Wishing Biden Good Health

Russian President Vladimir Putin has wished his US counterpart Joseph Biden good health in reply to the latter’s remarks made in his Wednesday television interview, TASS reports.

Interviewed on the ABC network Biden said that the Russian leadership would have to pay a price for Moscow’s alleged attempts to interfere in the US election. Also, he replied in the affirmative, when asked if he regarded Putin as a "killer".

"As far as statements by my US counterpart are concerned. What would I say to him in response? I would tell him: ‘Stay healthy!" I wish him good health," the Russian leader said, adding that he really meant what he was saying without a pinch of irony.

Putin said that Moscow would rely on honest and decent Americans in relations with Washington.
