MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin did not send any message to US President Joe Biden or NATO countries through Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
"No. Indeed, Mr. Orban is taking a serious initiative in order to compare the positions of different sides based on primary sources. And we highly appreciate - President Putin gave the same high assessment - these efforts of Mr. Orban," Peskov said in response to a question about whether Putin sent a message through Orban to Biden and other participants of the NATO summit in Washington.
The spokesman added that Moscow expects to continue close partnership relations with Tehran after the end of the presidential elections in the country.

"We hope for the continuation of close partnership and allied relations with Tehran, which have very positive dynamics in terms of development and deepening in various fields," Peskov told reporters.

On July 6, Iranian election headquarters spokesman Mohsen Eslami announced that Masoud Pezeshkian has won the two-round snap election.

French Voters' Change of Heart in Legislative Polls Interesting to Russia

Russia has been closely watching the French legislative elections, given their significance and the changing voting preferences, Peskov noted.
"There is obviously a drift in the sentiment of French voters, the drift is really unpredictable ... France is a very important country on the European continent, so everything that happens there is of interest to us," he said.
Russia will monitor the process of government formation and coalition negotiations in France, Peskov said. He admitted that the victory of those who support the restoration of relations between France and Russia would be more preferable.
