YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, ARMENPRESS. Earlier in the week, Adam Szubin, Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the US Treasury directly accused Vladimir Putin of corruption in an interview with the BBC. The statement was later backed by White House spokesman Josh Earnest, who stated that these claims reflect the view of the US presidential administration. “Armenpress” reports the aforementioned, citing Sputink International.

"Clearly, the president is familiar with these allegations. He also considers them totally unacceptable and inappropriate for such a high-ranking US representative," Peskov told reporters.

He added that the Kremlin hopes the United States will provide an explanation regarding the claims.
