MOSCOW, July 6. /TASS/. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov addressed the latest telephone conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, as well as Russia’s joint drills with China, in his daily briefing on Monday.
TASS has gathered the key statements made by the Russian presidential press secretary.
- The phone call Putin and Trump held at the end of last week allowed Russia to reiterate its position to the US straight away: "It was a good opportunity to convey our position to the US president first-hand at the highest level."
- The two leaders expect to talk more in the near future: "Indeed, both President Putin and President Trump came to an understanding that they will touch base again in the near future."
- Trump’s position on the Ukraine conflict has been quite consistent: "The US president holds a fairly consistent position [on Ukraine], and all these allegations about him flip-flopping are certainly untrue."
