The Kremlin said the high-profile prisoner swap of Viktor Bout and Brittney Griner should not be seen as a step towards improving bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington.
-The Kremlin said on Friday that a high-profile prisoner swap should not be seen as a step towards improving bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington, Russian state news agencies reported."The talks were exclusively on the topic of the exchange. It's probably wrong to draw any hypothetical conclusions that this may be a step towards overcoming the crisis in bilateral relations," the TASS news agency quoted Peskov as saying.
"The Americans continue their policy of reducing Russia's diplomatic presence in the United States," it quoted him as telling Russian state television. Antonov, echoing Peskov's earlier comments, said he did not see anything positive about the current state of bilateral ties, RIA said.
