VLADIVOSTOK, September 7. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will enter the right path of cooperation with Moscow, although he "got into a bad company" now.
"We also granted the Order of Friendship to Tillerson some time ago. But judging on all this, he got in a bad company and is slipping away somehow. But I hope that the wind of cooperation, friendship and interaction will bring him to a right course in the end," Putin said.
