Russian reporters are whining about having to sleep on cots and being served old tuna for breakfast while covering the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska — but their own country may actually be to blame.

The Kremlin journalists griped that they’ve had to rough it on portable beds with no sheets set up at the Alaska Airlines Center sports arena in Anchorage, where they were hardly able to make phone calls.

They — gasp — even had to get by without bottled water.

“After being assigned for [Thursday] night to what appeared to be a disaster evacuation zone, Russian journalists were being treated to breakfast of tuna mayo left out overnight, some chips, and an unlimited supply of water (from a drinking fountain),’’ wrote an irked Margarita Simonyan, editor in chief of the Russian state-run outlet RT.
