WASHINGTON, 12 June, 2021 (TON): Russia-U.S. relations are at their lowest in years, said Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview on Friday.

He said, "We have a bilateral relationship that has deteriorated to its lowest point in recent years."

According to the media interview, Putin noted he can work with U.S. President Joe Biden.

While denying the Washington Post story saying Russia is preparing to supply Iran with an advanced satellite that would enable Tehran to track military targets in the region, Putin said, "It's just fake news. At the very least, I don't know anything about this kind of thing. Those who are speaking about it probably know more about it. It's just nonsense, garbage."

Moreover, Biden is on the first foreign trip of his presidency to Europe, and his highly anticipated meeting with Putin is scheduled on 16 June.

Relations between Washington and Moscow have been adversarial in recent years. The two sides have obvious differences on issues related to Ukraine, cyber security, human rights, and U.S. election interference.
