The Kremlin has denied reports of a conversation between President Vladimir Putin and President-elect Donald Trump regarding the war in Ukraine. The Washington Post initially reported that the two leaders spoke, with Trump allegedly advising Putin against escalating the conflict in Ukraine. However, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov dismissed these claims as 'completely untrue' and 'pure fiction.'
Trump's communications director also declined to comment on the alleged conversation, stating that they do not discuss private calls between the President and other world leaders.
