The Kremlin on Monday maintained its policy of discretion regarding top-level discussions, following reports of an alleged threat by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to strike Moscow. Trump reportedly warned President Vladimir Putin that any aggression towards Ukraine would prompt a severe response on Russian soil.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized Russia's commitment to confidentiality in high-stakes international dialogues, distancing the government from the U.S. election's rhetoric. Peskov indirectly criticized Trump's openness, attributing such attitudes to varying informational hygiene among global leaders.

Peskov noted that the ongoing U.S. presidential campaign, especially in its latter stages, is rife with inflammatory and emotional statements. The Kremlin, he stated, remains focused on conducting its foreign policy with responsibility and caution.
