Putin Will Not Congratulate Biden on Fourth of July, Kremlin Says

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not congratulate his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden on Monday's U.S. Independence Day because of Washington's "unfriendly" actions towards Moscow, the Kremlin said.

"Congratulations this year can hardly be considered appropriate," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. "The United States' unfriendly policies are the reason."
