As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/putin-challenges-biden-to-a-live-public-broadcast-discussion-russia-ups-challenge-after-biden-silent\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by The Daily Wire, the challenge came in response to Biden claiming that Putin was a \u201ckiller\u201d during an interview with ABC News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI would say to him: I wish you good health,\u201d Putin initially&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-03-18\/biden-must-apologize-for-putin-killer-claim-russia-says\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAlthough they think we are the same as them, we are different people; we have a different genetic and cultural-moral code. But we know how to defend our own interests, and we will work with them but in those areas in which we are interested and on terms we consider favorable for us. And they will have to reckon with that.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When speaking on television, Putin, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-russia-usa-reaction-idUSKBN2BA0S1\"><span class=\"s1\">Reuters<\/span><\/a>, \u201ccited a Russian children\u2019s playground chant to scathingly respond to Biden\u2019s accusation with the comment that \u2018he who said it, did it.\u2019\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI want to offer President Biden to continue our discussion but on the condition that we do it live, online, without any delays but in an open, direct discussion,\u201d Putin&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/international\/putin-offers-biden-public-talks-after-us-president-says-he-is-a-killer-662496\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the situation during a press briefing at the time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here is the exchange:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"22\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>REPORTER: While you\u2019ve been briefing, President Putin has just extended an invitation to President Biden to continue their conversation, but this time he wants to do it live. He\u2019s asking for a livestreamed conversation, an open, direct dialogue. Putin says he\u2019s available tomorrow or Monday. Is this something that you would consider?<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>PSAKI: I\u2019ll have to get back to you if that is something we are entertaining. I would say that the President already had a conversation already with President Putin, even if \u2014 as there are more world leaders that he has not yet engaged with. And we engage with Russian leaders, members of the government at all levels, but I don\u2019t have anything to report to you in terms of a future meeting. The President will, of course, be in Georgia tomorrow and quite busy.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
