“It seems to me that both Russia and Britain are interested in the full-scale restoration of our relations,” Putin said.
Also, the Russian leader noted that the “espionage story” with the poisoning of the former GRU employee Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury in the UK “is not worth even five kopecks”.
Earlier, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov announced the meeting between Putin and British Prime Minister Theresa May at the G20 summit in Osaka.
