The Kremlin has denied media reports that US President-elect Donald Trump held a call with Vladimir Putin, in which he is said to have warned the Russian president against escalating the war in Ukraine.
The call, which was first reported by the Washington Post on Sunday, is said to have happened on Thursday.
Trump is also reported to have mentioned America's extensive military presence in Europe to Putin.
A Kremlin spokesperson said the reports were "pure fiction", while Trump's team told the BBC that it would not comment on the president-elect's "private calls".
Trump's communications director Steven Cheung told the BBC: "We do not comment on private calls between President Trump and other world leaders."
