The outgoing U.S. administration of Barack Obama has been attempting to "undermine the legitimacy" of Donald Trump's presidency and to ruin his policy, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday just days before Obama leaves office.

Putin said there has been a "continued acute internal political struggle" in the United States, which is aimed at undermining the legitimacy of Trump's win in the election and preventing him from taking office.

The "slander campaign" launched by the Obama administration against Trump and Russia is also trying to box in the president-elect so that he would fail to fulfill his election promises, including restoring U.S.-Russia relations, Putin added.

Earlier in the day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin does not have any phone contacts scheduled with Obama before the end of the latter's term.
