Russian officials denied reports about a call between Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump on Monday. A Kremlin spokesperson also indicated that Moscow had ‘no concrete plans yet’ to communicate with the Republican politician.
“This is completely untrue, it is pure fiction. There was no conversation,” his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He also indicated that there was “no concrete plans yet” for contact between the two leaders.
The clarification came in the wake of a Washington Post report citing unnamed sources. The publication claimed Trump had told Putin that he should not escalate the Ukraine war. Reuters also reported on the call while citing an unidentified source.
