MOSCOW – Moscow expects to resume dialogue with Washington after Donald Trump's victory in the recent presidential election, local media reported citing the Kremlin on Friday.

"There is ... modest hope that at least some low-level dialogue will resume, because it simply does not exist now," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding that Moscow will not view the situation through "rose-colored glasses".

He explained that making statements during an election campaign is one thing, but once a person enters the Oval Office, everything can change.

The Kremlin spokesman said changes in bilateral relations could happen, and this will also depend on the officials that the elected US president appoints to his administration.
