MOSCOW – Vladimir Putin says he doesn't care about alleged Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election because the actions weren't connected to his government.

In an interview with the US TV network NBC, the Russian president was asked if he condoned the interference by 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies detailed in a US indictment.

"I do not care at all, because they do not represent the government," he said, according to the interview transcript posted Saturday by the Kremlin.

"Maybe they are not even Russians but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked; maybe they have dual citizenship or a green card; maybe the US paid them for this. How can you know that? I do not know either," he said.

The Russians know how to cut to the chase better than anyone. I'm telling you, we would really like having better relations with the Russians. They are independent, self-sufficient, love their country, are a great ally to their friends, very smart, and you will never see them lost in the weeds of gibberish and nonsense.
