Rarely has Russia denied information published in the press with such vigor. Questioned Monday November 11 about the telephone exchange which, according to The Washington Post, would have taken place Thursday, November 7, between Vladimir Putin and the American president-elect, Donald Trump, the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitri Peskov, came out of his hinges.
“This is the most obvious example of the quality of information that is published today, sometimes even in very respectable publications. This is completely false. It’s pure fiction, it’s simply false information,” hammered this man who is known for his composure, according to the official agency Interfax.
Relying on anonymous sources, the American daily claimed on Sunday that Donald Trump would have advised the Russian president not to “intensifier” the war in Ukraine and would have reminded him of Washington's significant military presence in Europe. The two men also allegedly discussed during this exchange of “peace on the European continent” and Donald Trump would have expressed his wish to soon tackle “the resolution of the war in Ukraine”according to its sources.
