The Guardian reports:

The Kremlin has denied reports that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, spoke to the US president-elect, Donald Trump, calling the media reports “pure fiction”.

This is the most obvious example of the quality of the information that is being published now, sometimes even in fairly reputable publications,” Peskov said.
