Despite allegations that Moscow could have had an impact on the outcome of the US presidential election, Russian leader Vladimir Putin maintained neutrality during the race, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on Friday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Russian leadership, and President Vladimir Putin in particular, stayed neutral regarding the US presidential election process, Peskov said.

"President Putin did his best in order to stay neutral in this story. Despite the fact that personally he was playing an overwhelming role, quite unexpectedly for us in American election campaign, but, nonetheless, he never pointed out his favorite candidate and he was very careful saying that Russia would welcome any choice of American people and we cannot afford interfering into America's domestic affairs," Peskov told CNN in an interview aired Friday.
