Russia said it could not confirm the veracity of President Donald Trump's claim that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin he would bomb Moscow if Ukraine was invaded.
Audio of Trump speaking at a private meeting with fundraisers in 2024 about a conversation with Putin was broadcast by CNN.
"The fact is that there were no telephone conversations then," said Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Kremlin, state news agency Tass reported.
"After all, we are talking, as far as I understand, about the period when Trump was not yet the president of the United States," he added.
When asked about the audio recording, the White House told Newsweek on Wednesday that "as President Trump has said time and again, Russia never dared invade Ukraine when he was in office."
Newsweek has contacted the Kremlin for comment.
