Presidents Trump and Putin have been meeting today in Helsinki
Vladimir Putin has spent much of his time in Helsinki denying any wrongdoing especially as regards president Trump and the United States. He and Donald Trump have been exchanging notes in the Finnish capital.
Among other things , Mr Putin was accused of holding on to a damaging dossier on Mr Trump and of interfering in the last US elections. However, he has denied all.
Hear the Russian president :
On Mr Trumps dossier:
‘I did hear these rumors that we allegedly collected compromising material on Mr Trump
when he was visiting Moscow. When President Trump was visiting Moscow back then I
didn’t even know he was in Moscow.
‘Please disregard these issues.
On elections:
‘I had to reiterate things. I said several times that the Russian state has never interfered
and is not going to interfere in internal American affairs including election processes.’
However, Mr Putin's denials seemed to contradict the fact that 12 Russians were indicted
by special counsel Robert Mueller Friday over claims they hacked Democrat computers
and spread damaging material about the party ahead of the 2016 election.
