Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the words of US President Donald Trump, who called Russia is a "paper tiger," said that Russia is rather not a tiger, but a bear, and there are no "paper bears."

"'Paper tiger' was a phrase used in reference to our economy … Russia is not a tiger in any way, after all, Russia is more associated with a bear, there are no paper bears," Peskov said.

A telephone call between President Putin and President Trump is not on the immediate agenda of contacts, but Moscow will have the opportunity to convey its stances to Washington, Peskov also said.

"No, there are no such plans [Putin-Trump phone call] as of yet, but it can be arranged at any time."

He added that the Kremlin took notice of Trump's recent statements on Ukraine at the UN General Assembly and "cannot agree with everything."
"We will have the opportunity to convey our assessments of latest events to the US."
