"Elegant slap" for Biden

"Elegant slap" for Biden

This was stated by military-political expert Jakov Kedmi for "Soloviev live".

According to him, Putin talked with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which was an "elegant slap" for US President Joe Biden.

U.S. leader said that he would not attend the Olympics in China, and that was a big strategic mistake, Kedmi believes.

"Xi Jinping said he didn't invite Biden, but he invited Putin's friend. Under pressure from petty politicians, Biden said Xi Jinping was not his friend. How did Putin start? 'My dear friend'... "That is, he was slapped like that with Biden elegantly, telling him: "Here we are friends, and you are friends with Zelensky." China has expressed support for Russia's position on NATO, while Beijing has never spoken out on European issues before. Moscow will still achieve its goal on security issues, so it is better to negotiate peacefully and there is no need to force Russia to take more radical steps," summed up Jakov Kedmi.
