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

It's not about preferring someone, it's about whose ideas are more close to you and whose ideas are more welcomed in Russian public opinion. Let's not forget about public opinion in our country. It's very influential and it's very powerful.

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

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.

We - Russian side is ready to be as active as American side is ready.

President Putin and President Trump-they both insist on their priority as national interest.

You know what is ambassador's job? To have as many contacts in political establishment as possible. This is the job of Russian ambassador in Washington, of American ambassador to Moscow and of every ambassador in every country of the world.
