Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov does not consider it possible to speak about changes in relations between Russia and the West on the background of the situation with the pandemic coronavirus. According to him, all in a hurry to talk about some warming, but this is unlikely to happen. We are talking only about cooperation in times of crisis, which always was and will be.
In an interview with RTVI Peskov said that relations between Moscow and the West in fact has not changed. The Russian President communicates with colleagues from other countries. And that communication was always in areas that are of mutual interest. So, the last time Vladimir Putin was in frequent contact with the President of the United States Donald trump, as the situation on the oil market demanded coordination and mutual action.
the Dialogue of the President of Russia with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron took place before the pandemic. According to Peskov, the macron has a very broad international vision, which allowed him even before the spread of coronavirus to accept a formula that a lot of the current disagreement is not a reason for ending the conversation, because to resolve these differences is possible only through dialogue. “This is exactly what is closest of the Russian Federation, closest to President Putin,” – said Peskov.
