During his end-of-year press conference on Thursday, Vladimir Putin was asked to comment on U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.

“Sometimes silence is golden,” Putin replied, before addressing Biden’s decision. “It’s always important which part of you is stronger: the politician or the human being. In Biden, the human side prevailed. And I don’t condemn him for that,” Putin said.
