The Kremlin has lashed out at the US after granting Volodymyr Zelensky a hero's welcome in Washington DC, accusing Joe Biden of fighting a proxy war against Moscow.
The Ukrainian president delivered a historic speech to a joint congress session yesterday to a standing ovation after he was escorted by NATO spy planes and fighter jets in a cloak-and-dagger operation from Europe.
The wartime leader also secured an extra $1.8billion in aid and the Patriot missile defence system from Joe Biden as he rallied support from the West against Putin's savagery.
But today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: 'We can say with regret that so far neither President Biden nor President Zelensky have said even a few words that could be perceived as potential readiness to listen to Russia's concerns.
