VLADIMIR Putin has claimed Russia has the “best” prostitutes in the world during his first public comments about Donald Trump’s ‘dirty dossier’.
The widely discredited document contained lurid allegations against the President-elect relating to an unspecified stay at a Moscow hotel.
The Russian President branded the salacious claims as “nonsense” and said the dossier was “an obvious fake” during a press conference, reports the Sputnik news agency.
He also called those who leaked the document “worse than prostitutes” who have “no moral limits”.
But during the news conference in the Kremlin, Putin also made bizarre remarks about the quality of his country’s call girls.
