Kremlin Denounces US "Peak Hysteria" After Vladimir Putin And Biden Call

The Kremlin's top foreign policy advisor Yury Ushakov told a conference call: "Hysteria has reached its peak"

The Kremlin on Saturday denounced US "peak hysteria" surrounding the Ukraine conflict but said Russian President Vladimir Putin and US leader Joe Biden had agreed to continue dialogue.

Speaking after new phone talks between Putin and Biden, the Kremlin's top foreign policy advisor Yury Ushakov told a conference call: "Hysteria has reached its peak."

Ushakov said that the US side had requested to arrange phone talks between Biden and Putin on Saturday even though such a call had initially been planned for Monday.

The two leaders spoke after Washington warned that an all-out invasion could begin "any day".
