Kyiv ‘unaware’ of Trump-Putin call

After unconfirmed reports of a phone call between United States President-elect Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Ukraine said Monday it was not informed of any such call and even doubts it ever took place.

The Kremlin, meanwhile, claimed Monday the call never happened.

“Reports that the Ukrainian side was informed in advance of the alleged call are false. Subsequently, Ukraine could not have endorsed or opposed the call,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said in a statement sent to journalists.
