The news came hours after President Joe Biden had a long nap during an important Russia-US summit.
Putin said the reason for the pause was due to the United States’ “aggressive actions” in the region, but many are speculating the move was in response to Biden’s nap.
The President said he was “deeply sorry” for the mistake, and acknowledged the consequences could be dire.
“This is a big mistake for Russia,” Biden said in a statement. “This decision could have serious implications for global security, and I take responsibility for my part in it. I will continue to work with President Putin to make sure this doesn’t become a longer-term issue.”
Despite Biden’s apology, Putin and his aides have downplayed the significance of the incident, describing it as an “unfortunate misunderstanding.”
“It was an unusual incident and we regret it, but it doesn’t change the fact that we still have serious disagreements with the US on a number of issues,” Putin said in a statement.
The incident has raised concerns in Washington that the US and Russia may be headed for a renewed nuclear arms race. But Biden has vowed to continue working with Putin to ensure global security.
