MOSCOW, October 2. /TASS/: Russia has not taken any destructive steps against the US, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

"Russia has not taken a single destructive step with respect to the US. Not a single one. If you have a different opinion, then substantiate it and furnish some evidence," he said at the plenary session of the Russian Energy Week forum.

The Russian president has dismissed statements on Russia’s potential meddling in the US 2020 election as laughable.

"He [former US Special Counsel Robert Mueller — TASS] did not find any proof of our collusion with Trump in the past, however, he expressed concern that we might collude in the future. This is laughable. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad," Putin told the plenary session of the Russian Energy Week.

President Putin also stated that Russia will work with any president elected by the US people. "We will work with any partner, any president elected by the American people," the Russian leader said.
