MOSCOW, March 18. /TASS/. No statements from the US will belittle Vladimir Putin's victory in the Russian presidential election and shatter the trust he has gained from the country's people, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

He was commenting on a statement from the White House that said the US will base its work on the reality that Putin is the president of Russia.

"No amount of verbal gymnastics will be able to belittle Putin's election victory and, most importantly, shatter people's faith in him," Peskov said, when asked whether the Kremlin regards this US approach as sufficient for holding potential communication, and more balanced, compared with the reaction of some European nations.
