Influence: Russia-Us Relations and Probe

influence: Peskov said Russia had insisted from the start of the two-year probe that whatever investigators did, they would find no Russian meddling, because there was no meddling . He also said the report would have a negative influence on Russia-US relations, which he said were not in the best shape . Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, has previously said allegations that the Kremlin sought to sway the election in favour of Donald Trump were nonsense, according to The Guardian. Peskov also criticised Mueller's investigations into meetings between Kremlin-linked businessmen such as Petr Aven, the co-founder of Alfa Bank, Russia's biggest commercial bank, and Trump officials, saying it was absurd to submit what he called routine business discussions to such intense scrutiny. In the form in which it has been published, the Mueller report contains no new information all this information has already been published by various media outlets, said Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman. These businessmen attract investment, and so the more contacts they have, the better, Peskov said. Peskov said the businessmen mentioned in Mueller's report, who also included Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, and Sergei Gorkov, the chair of Vnesheconombank, a major state-owned Russian bank, had informed Putin of the most important aspects of their conversations with figures close to Trump. They look for new contacts, and communicate with the relevant officials in the government and this goes on in all countries. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
