Kremlin: Obama Team Trying to Damage Ties With Russia
The Kremlin is accusing President Barack Obama’s administration of trying to damage relations with Russia to a degree that would make rebuilding them in the future a challenge.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said Thursday that Putin’s telephone phone conversation with President-elect Donald Trump this week revealed a “shared desire to join efforts in the fight against terrorism” that creates a “good basis for future work on the Syrian problem.”
