The Kremlin dismissed a remark by U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday that Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power," saying it was up to Russians to choose their own president.Thomson ReutersRockets strike western Ukrainian city of Lviv.Authorities announce new 35-hour curfew in capital of Kyiv.The Kremlin dismissed a remark by U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday that Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power," saying it was up to Russians to choose their own president.
Last week it accused Biden of making "personal insults" toward Putin after he labelled him a "war criminal" and a "murderous dictator," and said his remarks appeared to have been fuelled by irritation, fatigue and forgetfulness.Dmitry Rogozin, the outspoken head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, mockingly suggested on social media that the clarification of Biden's latest remarks had come from the White House medical unit.
Lviv had been largely spared since Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, although missiles struck an aircraft repair facility near the international airport a week ago. The governor said that residents of Slavutych took to the streets with Ukrainian flags to protest the Russian invasion. In an address on Saturday to Qatar's Doha Forum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky compared the destruction of Mariupol to the destruction inflicted on the Syrian city of Aleppo by combined Syrian and Russian forces in the civil war.
"They can do much to restore justice. The future of Europe depends on your effort. I ask you to increase the output of energy to ensure that everyone in Russia understands that no country can use energy as a weapon and blackmail the world," he said.
