Biden's Comparison of Putin and Hamas Draws Criticism from Russia

The Kremlin has criticized U.S. President Joe Biden for comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, calling the remarks "unacceptable." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that such rhetoric is unsuitable for responsible heads of state and not acceptable towards Russia and its president. Peskov also mentioned that the current moment is potentially dangerous, and the threat to Russian citizens would increase once Israel begins its expected ground operation in Gaza.
