"We hear many different statements. We certainly need to understand what kind of conditions we are talking about. We certainly welcome the statements that confirm the willingness to cooperate, but we would more welcome any concrete actions," Peskov told reporters commenting on Trump's words.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump did not discuss at their Helsinki meeting any options to lift or alleviate anti-Russian sanctions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.
"There was no talk about this [in Helsinki]," he said.
The US president noted he would consider lifting sanctions off Russia if Moscow agreed to work with Washington on certain issues, such as Syria or Ukraine.
On Syrian Issue
Russia contributes to the settlement in Syria like no other country in the world, Peskov said, commenting on the statement of US President Donald Trump.
"As regards Syrian affairs, Russia contributes to the political and diplomatic settlement of the situation in Syria, normalization of life and creating conditions for active return of refugees like no other country in the world. One needs to understand what is at stake here," Peskov told reporters.
Speaking further, the official noted that Russia had not discussed the issue of deterring Iran in Syria with the US side.
