The Kremlin said on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin had not contacted Donald Trump after the assassination attempt on the Republican US presidential candidate and had no plans to do so.
Asked if security measures around Putin would now be beefed up, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the Russian leader enjoyed the appropriate level of protection and that all necessary measures were being taken.
The Kremlin said on Sunday it did not believe the US administration was responsible for Saturday's assassination attempt on Trump, but accused it of creating an atmosphere that provoked the attack.
