Quote from Peskov: “Putin’s communication with Trump before the inauguration is not ruled out. The Kremlin proceeds from the statements of the US president-elect.”
Details: However, Peskov added that Russian representatives did not contact the Trump team and that no work was underway to organise a meeting between Putin and Trump.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia had never refused to hold meetings or conversations with the United States.
“We have never refused to speak with anyone. President Putin emphasises our position every time this topic comes up. Talking is always better than isolating ourselves from each other,” Lavrov said when asked about the prospects for contacts with the Trump team.
