MOSCOW. May 12 (Interfax) - Russia stands ready to move as far forward on the entire agenda of its relations with the United States as the U.S. side is willing, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"We regret the emotional obsession with the so-called Russian factor that is being zealously maintained in America. But, on the other hand, we understand that we need to be patient - this obsession will end soon," Peskov told reporters on Friday.
"We have never interfered in U.S. internal affairs and are not going to do so in the future," Peskov said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin "has more than once announced his readiness for such meetings [with U.S. President Donald Trump], his readiness to develop our relations as profoundly as our partners in Washington are ready to," he said.
When asked to comment on Moscow's attitude toward the policy being pursued by the U.S., Peskov recalled Putin's answer to a CBS TV channel journalist's question regarding the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey: "We live in Russia. We have our own agenda."
"We have lots of international problems which Russia is tackling. We have lots of problems and achievements inside the country, which are a top priority for us," Peskov said.
