The Kremlin on Monday downplays televised comments by US President Donald Trump that Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin was “probably” involved in asssassinations and poisonings, saying they did not amount to a direct accusation.

“The US president didn’t make any direct accusations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells 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.”
