The Kremlin on Monday denied reports that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and cast the media reports as pure fiction.
The Washington Post first reported that the call took place on Thursday. Reuters also reported that the call took place.
Putin has no specific plans to speak to Trump at the present, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
