Asked about Trump's visit to Russia

"I think there is a high probability that Trump will visit Russia, he will go to Kamchatka or even to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. It will be interesting."
"Anyway, that's a good sign," he added. The meeting, the red carpet, and Trump's applause... All this shows his great respect for the Russian President.
