MOSCOW, Oct 15, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The Kremlin on Monday downplayed
televised comments by US President Donald Trump that Russian counterpart
Vladimir Putin was “probably” involved in assassinations and poisonings,
saying they did not amount to a direct accusation.
“The US president didn’t make any direct accusations,” Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov told journalists after a CBS News interviewer asked Trump: “Do
you agree that Vladimir Putin is involved in assassinations? In poisonings?”
and he answered: “Probably he is, yeah.”
