- Secretary of State Rex Tillerson wrote the US and Russia have a "poor relationship"
- Kremlin spokesman says the Kremlin is "still perplexed" by the US Russia investigation
"Russian-American relations and the position that Washington takes with regard to our country can only cause regret," he said during his daily call with the international press.
Peskov added that Russians seek good relations with all countries but the "tango must be danced together."
"On Russia, we have no illusions about the regime we are dealing with," Tillerson wrote. "The United States today has a poor relationship with a resurgent Russia that has invaded its neighbors Georgia and Ukraine in the last decade and undermined the sovereignty of Western nations by meddling in our election and others."
"We have repeatedly stated our opinion on the anti-Russian hysteria that is fomented and maintained in the US. We are still perplexed in connection with all ongoing investigations," Peskov responded. "This, of course, is an internal affair of the United States, but in this case, of course, this is damaging our bilateral relations, and we regret this."
