“At the APEC summit in Chile, Russia will be represented at a different, but also high level,” he said.

According to him, this decision is not related to local unrest in Chile.

“At the moment, unfortunately, Putin’s program does not include such a trip in connection with internal events and the need to deal with internal Russian problems,” Peskov said.

In mid-October, Peskov announced that there were no “estimates” at the meeting between Putin and US leader Donald Trump at the APEC summit in Chile.
