Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the reasons behind the deterioration of Russian-US relations and also the prospects of Syrian settlement at the meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in Moscow, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"President (Putin) gave a rather detailed account to his interlocutor (Tillerson) on his stance on the reasons that have led our bilateral relations to such a sad condition in which they are now," Peskov said.
Kremlin Spokesman stressed that Putin just made an analysis of the situation and the Kremlin expects that this information will be brought to the notice of US President Donald Trump. "The president shared his analysis and his vision of precursors of the current crisis in bilateral relations," he noted.
At the meeting, the sides had a rather "substantive" discussion on the Syrian crisis. "The president outlined our vision of the current situation and the prospects of developing this situation," TASS cited Peskov as saying.
The spokesman also said that is early to speak about a shift in the Russia-US relations after a meeting between Putin and Tillerson but the talk was constructive.
According to Peskov, Putin and Tillerson didn’t raise the issue of the Russian leader’s meeting with Trump, as well as there was no detailed discussion of Ukraine.
