Vladimir Putin is ready to improve ties with the US after Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was cleared of colluding with Russia, the Kremlin has said.
Russia's foreign ministry has called on the US to formally recognise the findings of the long-awaited Mueller investigation after Mr Trump said he had "complete and total exoneration".
Responding to the special counsel report, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia had never interfered in elections in other countries and "doesn't intend to do so".
He added: "It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if it isn't there."

Mr Peskov said it was now up to the US to make the first move in improving relations with Russia, telling reporters: "The ball is absolutely in their court."
Special counsel Robert Mueller spent almost two years examining alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, bringing charges against 34 people and three Russian companies.
A summary of his main findings was released on Sunday which said there was no evidence that Mr Trump's campaign "conspired or coordinated" with Russia.
