We're not imposing any embargo, . These (restrictions) are introduced due to an increasing danger from various manifestations of extremism. Of course, additional control measures are taken. This is rather natural, especially taking into account the unpredictable actions of the Republic of Turkey.

You can't treat Russia like a guilty schoolboy who has to put a cross on a piece of paper to show he has done his homework. That kind of language is unacceptable.

The information on a baby born to Vladimir Putin is false. I am going to ask people who have money to organize a contest on the best media rumor.

We would always disagree with any words like aggression in our address.

Dmitry Peskov

disagree aggression

Exchanging of unfriendly statements, rejecting any possibility of cooperation and interaction in combating terror, especially in Syria and so on and so forth. So it's not something that contributes to global stability and security.

Having contacts with Russian ambassador or with Russian representatives in this or that field does not mean interference in Americans' affairs - domestic affairs.

Dmitry Peskov

Any blaming that Russia could have been interfering in domestic affairs of the United States is slander. And it has no evidence at all.

Of course Russia is, let's say element, of American election campaign, was on the agenda to some extent but the influence of that element could have hardly been critical.

Telephone contacts, of course, cannot give you the perfect picture of each other's personality. But at least, during those contacts, and before the election, we've seen some tweets by Mr. Trump saying that, that he was in favor of getting in dialogue with the Russian Federation to try to understand each other's concerns.

We're patient enough to wait until we understand what are the approaches of the present administration. We understand that they - the present administration still needs time to be more precise in formulating their main ideas in terms of Russia.

Lots of Americans, they do think that yes, Russian hackers are everywhere. Russian hackers are in every fridge, Russian hackers are in every iron and so on and so forth. But this is not true. Those are fake news and this is slander.

hackers fake thinking

President Putin and President Trump are very much alike in their basic approach to international relations.They both insist on their priority as national interest. And they both understand pretty well that sometimes it is in your national interest to conduct good relationship with your counterpart, ensuring that those relationships are mutually beneficial and ensuring that - that you are really ready to take into account each other's concern.

good-relationship priorities president

There are certain people in the United States and they want to and they insist on, upon using Russian card in their game, but domestic game. We're very sorry about that and we consider it wrong actually because, well, further damage to our relationship is not in the interest of our people, people of the United States and people of the Russian federation.

Dmitry Peskov

our-relationship sorry people

We have variety of politicians in every country. And we have a variety of politicians in the United States. Some of them are saying that we are in favor of reestablishing good relationships with Russia. We think that we have lots of problems and we are sure that we will not be able to agree upon everything but we are sure that we have to have a dialogue with the Russians. Others are those who say, No, Russians are our enemy and we are strictly against any context with them. And we don't give a damn about their interests.

I think if Rusian and U.S. presidents meet each other, if they exchange views, then there will be a chance for our volatile relations to get better.

Dmitry Peskov

All those fake news having nothing beneath and having no evidence, were nothing else but slander. And that's why we'll continue to suggest to everyone insisting that Russia was interfering in this or that way into domestic affairs of the United States, we will suggest them to read Mr. Putin's lips.

Dmitry Peskov

slander affair fake

Russia has never been an aggressor. Russia has always been a country contributing to global stability and security. A country heavily involved in combating terror.
