SOCHI, November 8. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he tries to avoid damaging relations with any of the world leaders.

"I try not to make anything worse, but to improve everything. But today's conditions, they are very peculiar. And it is no secret that they make an impact on everything. I had good relations with Macron, but now they are bad. I talked to Scholz too. But at some point they decided they didn’t need it. Well, it's not necessary, so it's not necessary. I've said it before. I had a good relationship with Trump too. I don't know if he wants to talk to me now, or if he doesn't. I had a fine relationship with Biden, too. We met with him in Switzerland, communicated by phone, talked, called each other, joked, laughed," Putin said at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.
