Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday said accusations that Moscow meddled in US elections, particularly through contacts with Donald Trump's campaign team are "fantasies" and are motivated by American domestic politics.

"Everything about the so-called Russian dossier in the US is a manifestation of continuing domestic political struggle," he said, adding that allegations that his niece has met with Trump's former advisor George Papadopoulos are "some kind of fantasies."
