A top spokesman for Russian President Putin said Friday that the U.S.’s relationship with Moscow may be worse than during the Cold War. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, told ABC News that President Obama’s sanctions before leaving office and swirling allegations that Moscow interfered with the elections contributed to the relationship discord. Peskov denied reports that Russia interfered with the elections. Meanwhile, Russian submarines have increased combat patrols to the level last seen during the Cold War, its navy chief said. Adm. Vladimir Korolyov said that Russian submarine crews spent more than 3,000 days on patrol last year, matching the Soviet-era operational tempo.
