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.

This is a perverted perception of ambassador's job to say that every contact with a Russian ambassador is potentially dangerous and potentially can put in a line of activities interfering in domestic affairs.

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.

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

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.

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.
