Russia today said that its ties with the United States were still in "crisis" despite a prisoner swap involving US basketball star Brittney Griner and Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.

The Kremlin on Thursday denounced the decision by EU foreign ministers to suspend a 2007 visa facilitation deal with Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, and warned of potential countermeasures.

Loyalists to Russian leader Vladimir Putin have said that he should be referred to as the country's "ruler" rather than "president" in order to move away from terms derived from Western language.

Two Americans captured in Ukraine while fighting with Kyiv's military were "endangering" Russian soldiers and should be "held accountable for those crimes," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday in an interview with NBC News.

Russia will wait and see how billionaire Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter will affect the platform, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, adding that he doubted Western social media were capable of reflecting different points of view.

Russian troops have suffered "significant losses" in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday, while rejecting allegations of a massacre in the town of Bucha as "a well-staged insinuation".

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday said Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the military to strengthen the country's western borders so that no one would ever think of launching an attack.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told PBS in an interview on Monday that Russia would resort to nuclear weapons only in the case of a "threat to the existence" of his country - and not as a result of the current conflict with Ukraine.

Russia on Friday said it had "never" violated international legislation after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of using phosphorus bombs in his country.

Russia has said that it hopes Moscow won’t have to block Western tech giants and stressed that the companies had to abide by Russian law. Russian authorities have in recent months ramped up pressure on foreign social media platforms, especially Twitter.
