Russia stated its relationship with the US is "balancing on the brink of a breakup," during a press conference Monday morning.
The comment contrasts with President Donald Trump's statement Friday in an interview with the New York Post. Trump said that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call where Putin shared that he "wants to see people stop dying" in the conflict with Ukraine. In the interview, Trump added that the war "never would have happened" if he had been president at the time, because he "always had a good relationship with Putin."
