Russian President Vladimir Putin is for the improvement of relations between Russia and U.S., Spokesperson for the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said Thursday, RIA Novosti reports.

Referring to the relations between Russia and U.S. after the election of Donald Trump, Peskov noted that “one shouldn’t look at everything through rose-colored glasses: everything will be very tough.”

“Russia’s stance is consistent. The Russian President’s position is well-known to everyone: it is consistent and quite flexible, but its flexibility has limits. Putin is for good ties and improvement of our relations. We’ll see to which extent this reciprocity will be expressed,” Peskov told journalists.
