The Kremlin says that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not contacted Donald Trump after the assassination attempt on the Republican US presidential candidate and has no plans to do so.
Asked if security measures around Putin would now be beefed up, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says the Russian leader enjoyed the appropriate level of protection and that all necessary measures were being taken.
The Kremlin said on Sunday it did not believe the Biden administration was responsible for Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump, but accused it of creating an atmosphere that provoked the attack.
