The Kremlin dismissed reports of a phone call between U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as "pure fiction." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clarified Monday that no recent conversation had taken place between the two leaders, countering claims by the Washington Post and Reuters, which cited anonymous sources alleging Trump urged Putin to de-escalate the Ukraine conflict. Peskov criticized the news as "false information" and questioned its credibility, despite publication in widely respected outlets. He also mentioned that there are "no concrete plans yet" for Putin to engage with Trump regarding Ukraine or other matters.
