President Joe Biden is raising eyebrows after claiming he has known Russian President Vladimir Putin for over four decades.

Biden sat down for an interview with ABC News’ David Muir and was if he is concerned about Putin’s warning regarding U.S, weapons being used by Ukraine to strike targets in Russian territory.

But, one part of his answer garnered significant attention as questions were raised about its veracity.

“I’ve known him for over 40 years. He’s concerned me for 40 years. He’s not a decent man,” Biden declared.

Watch the video below:

ABC: Putin says the U.S. supplying high-precision weapons to Ukraine for strikes on Russian territory is "direct participation in this war" … does that concern you?

The New York Post notes, “Putin worked as an intelligence officer in the Soviet Union’s spy network from 1975 to 1991, with postings in his hometown of St. Petersburg and the former East Germany before he retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel — making it highly unlikely Biden was aware of the future US adversary’s existence as early as he claimed.”

It also pointed to a 2000 article from The Washington Post stating, “Until he was handpicked in August [1999] by then-President Boris Yeltsin to become prime minister, Putin had never been a public figure.”

Check out some of the reactions below:

Joe Biden just said that he has known Vladimir Putin for "over 40 years."

Either Biden is lying or he is admitting he was in contact with a KGB agent since 1984 or Biden’s brain is so cooked that he doesn’t know what on earth he is talking about. pic.twitter.com/86Tvfajp4Q

Brah. Putin wasn't in office for 40 years. He was in office for 25 years since 1999. He's been elected 5 times. Dementia is really kicking him in. https://t.co/Mvlgk6UVhT

Biden: “I’ve known Putin for 40 years”

Hard to tell whether it’s dementia or if he met him through some shady business deal in the eastern bloc pic.twitter.com/i7NjA8elvL

🇺🇸 Biden again got confused: “I’ve known Putin for over 40 years, he’s been bothering me for 40 years.”

He does not know him that long. LMAO pic.twitter.com/bMngycZM07
