Putin chafes at US, criticizes response to Capitol attackMOSCOW (AP) Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday set a tough tone for his upcoming summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, accusing Washington of trying to contain Russia and citing its response to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as a manifestation of the West's double standards.
Speaking at an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said that arms control, global conflicts, the coronavirus pandemic and climate change are among the issues he and Biden would discuss at their June 16 summit in Geneva.
We need to find ways of looking for a settlement in our relations, which are at an extremely low level now, Putin said.
We dont have any issues with the U.S., he continued. But it has an issue with us. It wants to contain our development and publicly talks about it. Economic restrictions and attempts to influence our countrys domestic politics, relying on forces they consider their allies inside Russia, stem from that.

Putin tries to amplify GOP efforts to whitewash the deadly Capitol attack, saying the insurrectionists weren't 'just a crowd of robbers and rioters'
The Russian government is increasingly echoing Republican efforts to downplay the fatal Capitol insurrection and portray the rioters as innocent people with legitimate grievances.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday criticized the US response to the Capitol attack, which left five dead and was catalyzed by former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election. Among those killed on January 6 was a US Capitol Police officer.
"They weren't just a crowd of robbers and rioters. Those people had come with political demands," Putin said, per the Associated Press.
Putin's remarks came just days after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol were facing "persecution" by the US government. Over 500 people have been arrested and charged with crimes over the riot.
