Russian President Vladimir Putin will not congratulate US President Joe Biden and Americans on Independence Day this year.

Axar.az reports that Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian leader, told journalists.

"Congratulatory telegram will not be sent this year. This is due to the fact that this year the United States actually reached the culmination of its unfriendly policy towards our country. Under these conditions, such a congratulatory message can hardly be considered appropriate," Dmitry Peskov said.
