Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed his summit with US President Donald Trump as a first step to clearing tensions between their two countries and denied any role in the 2016 presidential election.
“Of course, numerous problems persist, and we have failed to clear the backlog in full, it was impossible to do this, but I believe we have made the first important step in that direction,” he told reporters.

Russian President Vladimir has said that a global balance of power is a necessity to ensure security and stability around the world.
During a meeting with Armed Forces commanders and defense industry executives on Tuesday, the Russian president lauded his country’s development of new weapons systems as deterrents.
One such new program is the S-500 surface-to-air anti-missile system which builds on the success of the S-400 system currently in use.

Sputnik News and TASS have both released short video clips depicting a successful test launch of the new Kinzhal hypersonic missile.
