Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, criticized what she described as a collusion among American media and political circles to conceal the true state of Biden's mental health and manipulate public opinion in favor of a particular political party.

“The next step should be to investigate the conspiracy of the American media and political circles that hid the true state of affairs about his mental state, manipulating public opinion and playing along with one political party,” Zakharova stated.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov echoed Zakharova's sentiments, expressing that Biden had been seen as a predictable candidate for Russia. Peskov reaffirmed that Russia's primary focus remains the objectives of its special military operation in Ukraine, rather than the outcome of the U.S. elections.

“The elections are still four months away, and this is a lengthy period during which numerous events may occur,” Peskov remarked. “Our primary concern is the objectives of the special military operation.”

The comments come in the wake of Biden's announcement and endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for the upcoming election. (ILKHA)
