Kremlin says reports that Trump and Putin spoke in recent days are 'pure fiction'
Reuters ^ | 11/11/2024 | Dmitry Antonov and Guy Faulconbridge

Summary

The Kremlin on Monday denied reports that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent days, and said Putin had no concrete plans yet to speak to Trump.

The Washington Post, opens new tab first reported that the call had taken place, citing unidentified sources, and said that Trump had told Putin that he should not escalate the Ukraine war. Reuters also reported on the call, citing an unidentified source.

"This is completely untrue. This is pure fiction, it's just false information," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "There was no conversation."

"This is the most obvious example of the quality of the information that is being published now, sometimes even in fairly reputable publications," Peskov said.

Asked if Putin had plans for any contacts with Trump, Peskov said: "There are no concrete plans yet."

The 2-1/2-year-old war in Ukraine is entering what some officials say could be its final - most dangerous - phase as Moscow's forces advance at their fastest pace since the early weeks of the conflict and the West ponders how the war will end.

Trump said during campaigning that he could bring peace in Ukraine within 24 hours if elected, but has given few details on how he would seek to end the biggest land war in Europe since World War Two.

Putin congratulated Trump on Thursday, praised him for showing courage when a gunman tried to assassinate him, and said Moscow was ready for dialogue with the Republican president-elect.

I absolutely believe that.

If Trump had talked to Putin, he would have said so.

The whole story about Trump warning Putin not to escalate is Deep State's attempt to sow discord among Trump supporters. It's exactly what one would expect from Deep State.

I suspect both Gentlemen will find the time to cordially discuss many things. Once President Elect Trump officially takens office maybe? In the meantime, I’m sure some surrogates are prepping the event with groundwork. I feel much better about World events than I did on November 4th.

First off. If any contact was made through electronic means, phone included, it would have been purely of a congratulations tone.
Second. Any contact made to discuss future talks would be made through physical means, letters, and brought by currier to Orban in Hungary to be forwarded to Russia by currier.

This whole thing was purely made up through an article that was written in less of the style of a cheap swindle sheet rag that can be had at any store.

Common sense tells people with common sense that at this time, before all advisory positions are filled, in no way will any serious negotiations be attempted before all angles are considered.

Stupid amateurish scam writers.
They don’t know it but, I wouldn’t be surprised if wapo will face false publishing charges over this in the future. As they should.

Biden refused to talk with Putin, but tossed money and weapons to Ukraine instead. That has only lead to thousands of deaths. What the hell is wrong with actually having diplomatic relations with Russia? The Left seems to think so, because it’s their favorite way to bash Trump.

Yeah well. Fortunately, more and more countrymen are asking questions for themselves, analyzing data and drawing their own conclusions. A majority probably feel as you and I do. Hence why we have Mr. Trump again.

Just in time too it appears. Imo

Seriously, if any contacts are made through electronic means, they can be intercepted.
Write a letter, note, whatever, the amount of people witnessing will be limited. Two, maybe three and the letter sealed and sent by currier secretly.
In short, no more than a handful will have knowledge of it and only two or three will know the contents.
That reduces the number of potential moles.

Moreover. The first note should never contain any potential views, opinions.

It should be short and request the mutual desire to open talks officially at a later time.

Sent to Orban for transfer. Why?

Well, just sending a thank you note to Mr Orban for his past support and congratulations he conveyed to myself after my victory.

Get it?

The left prefers the Soviet Union. They were soooooo in love with Russia back then.

IMO as well. We missed a bullet with Harris. That’s figurative but Trump literally missed a bullet (mostly). We might never know who really organized that. But anyway, it’s not Harris per say that represented the danger, it was who or whatever she was an idiot puppet of.

Yes, but they still have China and North Korea to admire.

More NEOCON LIES - that’s all they know how to do. Thankfully, we have the Russians to set the story straight.
