The Kremlin has said that remarks by US President Joe Biden comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to Hamas are “unacceptable”, Reuters reports.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the current time is a potentially dangerous moment on the international agenda, and that the threat to Russian citizens will grow exponentially once Israel started its expected ground operation to try to oust Hamas from Gaza.

Peskov declined to say who would represent Russia at a peace summit for the Palestinian conflict in Cairo on Saturday, referring the query to the foreign ministry.
