Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday labeled statements from US President Joe Biden directed at him as "rude" during a fundraiser.

The Kremlin has criticized Joe Biden, accusing him of demeaning himself and bringing disgrace to his country after the US President referred to Vladimir Putin as a "crazy SOB" during a fundraiser in San Francisco.

Biden made the comment while discussing the climate crisis, stating, “We have a crazy SoB like Putin and others, and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is climate.”

"Rude," the president said when reacting to Biden’s statement.

Putin referenced his prior statement in which he expressed that Biden would be a more favorable US president for Russia compared to former US President Donald Trump due to Biden being more "predictable."

"And judging by what he just said, I’m absolutely right, because this is an adequate reaction to what I said," Putin said, adding that Biden "can not just say thank you."

Biden has previously used the term "son of a b*****" to describe others. In January 2022, he was recorded on a hot mic using the same derogatory term about a Fox News White House reporter.

The Kremlin expressed that Biden's remarks were a “disgrace for the United States."

"The use of such language against the head of another state by the president of the United States is unlikely to infringe on our president, President Putin,” Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. “But it debases those who use such vocabulary."

Peskov stressed the comments were “probably some kind of attempt to look like a Hollywood cowboy.”

Earlier this month, an investigation conducted by three American journalists revealed that the US intelligence community fabricated claims suggesting that Putin favored Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election.

In January 2017, an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) released by the US Director of National Intelligence suggested that Putin preferred Trump to win the election.

However, after a thorough investigation, journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag found that the authors of the assessment fabricated intelligence regarding this claim.

The information was sourced from people close to a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia scandal.

The report further states that the release of the HPSCI investigation findings is being obstructed.
