Biden criticized Putin and Xi Jinping for not attending the climate summit
US President Joe Biden at the climate summit in Glasgow criticized Russia for "not showing up" to this event, although it claims to be world leader. President Vladimir Putin, according to Biden, literally "burns the tundra," but he "is silent about the desire to do anything." The same “big mistake” was made, according to Biden, by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Russia was represented at the UN climate summit by a delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk. Representatives of Russia intend to raise three issues at the conference: the parameters of forest-climatic projects, technological neutrality and the mechanism of mutual recognition of carbon credits. Vladimir Putin did not go to Glasgow, but recorded a video message for a conference on forest management and land use.The Foreign Ministry invited the United States to send more diplomats to Russia
Russia invites the United States to send additional diplomats to its consulate in the country to normalize the provision of consular services to Russians. This was announced by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. According to him, the current level of diplomatic relations is unacceptable and could be "more dangerous than a nuclear war." Earlier in the day, Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov proposed to improve relations between the countries by lifting all mutual restrictions on the diplomatic presence.
