We are ready to work with any president, of course.

He has no problem invading his neighbors, but Russian President Vladimir Putin draws the line at the USA presidential candidate using inappropriate campaign tactics.
Some U.S. officials have stated that Russian Federation is attempting to influence the outcome of the upcoming presidential elections in November.
Putin seemed to be congratulating the hackers for the transparency that they created by opening private DNC information to the American public and the rest of the civilized world.
Putin slammed the accusations as attempts to “distract the public’s attention from the essence of the problem by raising some minor issues connected with the search for who did it”. The leaks showed that party officials leaned favorably toward Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders and led to Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepping down as the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
The FBI is also reviewing whether APT 28 passed the files released by WikiLeaks on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, prompting a shake-up of the committee’s leadership and concern that Moscow had launched a broad cyberespionage campaign against institutions at the heart of USA politics.
The DNC hack was first reported in June, when the suspected intruders were found to have accessed party research into the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as well as the private emails of dozens of Democratic party officials.
Putin dismissed the allegations.
Relations between Moscow and London have been strained in recent years due to their different stances over the Ukraine and Syria crises.
However, the two sides seem to be making efforts to improve ties as Abe is on his second trip to Russian Federation this year and Putin is set to visit Japan in December.
The latest chapter in the oil production freeze chatter saw Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia issuing remarks about a possible deal, but while the Saudi foreign minister said that positions were moving closer, Vladimir Putin said he would be in favor of an OPEC deal with a “leeway” for Iran which deserves to make a complete return to the market.
In July, Clinton accused Russian intelligence services of hacking into the DNC servers, while accusing Trump soliciting support from Putin. Trump, in return, has said Clinton’s own close ties to the Russian president deserve greater scrutiny.
