SOCHI, October 2. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that during his visit to Alaska he briefly discussed reviving bilateral relations with his US counterpart Donald Trump.
"After all, one way or the other, albeit briefly, in this case, we were talking about restoring the Russia-US ties which are not simply at a dead end but at their lowest level over the entire time that I can recall," the Russian leader said at a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club.
He replied in the negative to a question as to whether he told something Trump about Ukraine’s history at the Alaska summit.
"No," Putin said, replying to the moderator’s question on the matter. "I told my other American interlocutors, to be frank, we indeed talked about potential options of settling [the Ukraine crisis]," the Russian president explained.
