“Indeed, there was a telephone conversation.

The telephone conversation was not reported, because we do not report most of the President's telephone conversations during the working day, we simply do not have such an opportunity, "Peskov said, answering a question from journalists.

The Kremlin stressed that "there was no face-to-face meeting."

Peskov also noted that Chubais did not acquire an office in the presidential administration, since his position is on a voluntary basis.

Earlier, Chubais spoke about a conversation with Putin before his departure from Rusnano.
