Putin says Russia does not seek confrontation with US

Russia does not seek confrontation with the United States and is not trying to influence the upcoming presidential election, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday. Putin said he would work with any US leader willing to work with Russia.



Earlier,  India expressed its concern to Russia over the joint military exercise recently held between Islamabad and Moscow, Times of India reported.



“We have conveyed our views to Russia that military cooperation with Pakistan which is a country that sponsors terrorism as a matter of state policy is a wrong approach and it will only create further problems,” India’s ambassador to Russia Pankaj Saran said.
