The Kremlin hit back at President Joe Biden, saying that it was up to the Russian people to decide if Putin stays in power.
The president of the US and the Americans have no say in who stays in power in Russia, according to the Kremlin.
This speech and the passages which concern Russia are astounding to use polite words. The world is not limited to the United States and most of Europe, according to Peskov.
In Warsaw, Poland, Biden spoke to a crowd and said that the man couldn't stay in power.
The White House tried to downplay Biden's choice of words, saying he was referring to Putin's power outside of Russia and not calling for his removal.
The President said that Putin couldn't exercise power over his neighbors or the region. The White House said that he was not discussing Putin's power in Russia or regime change.
Biden did not call for a regime change according to the White House.
Over the last few weeks, the rhetoric against Putin has intensified, with the president calling his Russian counterpart a "butcher" on Saturday and a "war criminal" last week, prompting Moscow to condemn his remarks.
The French President warned on Sunday that verbal escalation could affect the establishment of a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine and the withdrawal of the Russian troops.
He said that if we want to do that, we can't escalate either in words or actions.
GOP Senator Jim Risch, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called Biden's comment on Sunday a "horrendous gaffe", saying it could further complicate diplomatic ties between Moscow and Washington.
