Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov has called for not to overestimate the significance of the alleged leaks of transcripts from conversations between presidential aide Yuri Ushakov and U.S. Special Representative Steve Whitkoft.
"I wouldn’t exaggerate if I said that these leaks have catastrophic significance," Peskov told Russia-1 journalist Pavel Zarubin.
Recall that Bloomberg published transcripts of two conversations without citing the source: one on October 14 between U.S. Presidential Ambassador Steve Whitkoft and Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, and the second on October 29 between Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Yuri Ushakov.
