How did the Kremlin react to Trump's statement?
According to Peskov, as the new US president's team develops its work, many different communications arise.
Vladimir Putin's spokesman claims that these communications are conducted through various channels.
And, of course, against the backdrop of the multiplicity of these communications, I personally may not know something, may not be aware of something. Therefore, in this case, I can neither confirm nor deny it.
