He said the Kremlin's subsequent position will be formulated based on the information Putin has received, and that contact with Washington will continue "in the near future through the existing channels that are currently operating".

Peskov pointed out that "all the key parameters of the Russian side's position are well known to our counterparts in the United States".

However, he declined to specify what documents Dmitriev had brought from Miami to Moscow.
