Nov 12, 2024

Moscow [Russia], November 12: US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not speak on the phone last week, the Kremlin said on Monday, after a US media report stated that a conversation had taken place.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the Washington Post report, which was published on Sunday, calling it "pure fiction, it's just false information."
"There was no conversation," Peskov told Russian news agency Interfax.
On Thursday, Putin congratulated Trump on his election victory at a public appearance in Sochi and said he was willing to resume contact.
The Washington Post reported on Sunday, citing informed sources, that Trump advised Putin not to escalate Moscow's war on Ukraine, during the purported call on Thursday.
Based on anonymous sources, the report said that Trump also referred to the US military presence in Europe. Trump himself made no comment on the report. (DPA)
