Kremlin calls Joe Biden's threat to 'cyber strike' Russia 'unprecedented' and pledges to protect itself from the 'aggressive, unpredictable United States'

As tensions continue to escalate between the U.S. and Russia, the Kremlin has called Vice President Joe Biden's threat to 'send a message' through America's own cyber strike 'unprecedented'. 

Russia said it would protect itself from a potentially unpredictable attack from the U.S., the New York Post reported.

'The threats directed against Moscow and our state’s leadership are unprecedented because they are voiced at the level of the US vice president.

'To the backdrop of this aggressive, unpredictable line, we must take measures to protect (our) interests, to hedge risks,' a Kremlin spokesman said, according to RIA Novosti news agency.
