Dmitry Peskov said the visit of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the White House last week is not necessarily a sign of thawing relations between the two countries.
This view was not shared by some American lawmakers, who said the visit was evidence that Trump does not take his role seriously.
Peskov said in an interview broadcast on Russia's Channel One television station:"In terms of bilateral relations we're in such a profound crisis that even the important visit by such a heavyweight minister as Lavrov cannot revise the tendency and change the sign from minus to plus. I don't think there are grounds for any optimism."
"Trump and Putin did have a number of very positive conversations, with very positive and good things said," Peskov said.
