Russian president Vladimir Putin claims President Barack Obama is planning to visit Russia, the outlet
RIA Novosti reports.
"US President Barack Obama has confirmed plans to visit
Russia at the invitation of his Russian counterpart
Vladimir Putin, the Russian presidents spokesman said
on Tuesday," the Russian outlet reports. "Spokesman
Dmitry Peskov said Obama made the statement when
Putin called a second time to congratulate the US
president on his reelection."
RIA Novosti quotes Putin's spokesman as saying,
"Obama thanked [Putin] for the congratulations and the
invitation and confirmed his readiness to come to Russia
at a date to be agreed by the two sides. ... Putin wished
his US counterpart success in forming his new team," he said, adding that the two presidents confirmed
their interest in "progressive development of bilateral relations in al l spheres, including the economy."
The White House has not announced plans for Obama to visit Russia since winning reelection.
During the campaign Obama famously got caught on a hot microphone passing along a message to
Putin. "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility," Obama told then Russian
president Dmitri Medvedev. "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir," Medvedev
responded in the overheard conversation.
