The Kremlin said on Saturday that Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris's description of Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "murderous dictator" exposed how politicians in Washington sought to impose their views on the world, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov's comment was the latest jab in exchanges revolving around the U.S. presidential election and the Kremlin's more than 2 1/2-year-old war in Ukraine.

"The lofty political establishment of the United States of America, to all appearances, is infused with such a political culture," Russian news agencies quoted Peskov as telling a television interviewer.

"This is probably the quintessence of the very model of international relations that they are trying to foist on the entire world, a model that most in the world are beginning to like less and less."
