“No one in the course of this conversation gave anyone any state or even non-state secrets,” Interfax quoted Lavrova as saying.
He also said that he had never seen Oleg Smolenkov, who is called the American spy in the media, and did not want to comment on rumors.
Earlier, a spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that Smolenkov worked in the Kremlin’s administration, but was fired several years ago.
He called "pulp fiction" various speculations about a new "spy scandal" with the United States.
