The team will be led by Keith Bedingfield, Biden's former associate director of communications.

Jen Psaki, 41, who was President Barack Obama's White House communications chief, will become Biden's press secretary.

Attacks from Russia

Dogs are known both in Ukraine and in Russia. She was the voice of the US administration in the turbulent years of 2014-2015 - the times of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the hot phase of the war in Donbass.

She made loud and unambiguous statements in support of Ukraine, and the Russian media severely criticized Ms. Psaki.

She stated that Russia is using gas as a political weapon, deploying troops to Ukraine and breaking the ceasefire in February 2015.

In fact, it was Jen Psaki who voiced criticism of Russia's actions towards Ukraine from the United States.

Psaki has been the subject of ridicule, jokes and insults from Russian leaders and state media journalists.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin published a video of her performances, pointing out that "The Psaki Show lacks offscreen laughter."

Journalist Dmitry Kiselev coined the word “Psaking” - supposedly to refer to unverified statements by Americans. This happened after another comment from Psaki about Russia’s illegal actions in Ukraine.

Jen Psaki herself has repeatedly commented on the insults in her direction from Russian officials and called it propaganda.

She said that it is not appropriate for a country as large as Russia to organize false attacks on representatives of the US administration.

She associated these attacks with the position regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine.
