Wikileaks Offers Trump to Appoint Assange Head of US-Russian Cybersecurity Group
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The two countries' presidents did not promise anything to each other on this issue, they only said they were ready to work jointly in that direction, Peskov said.

"Nobody promised anything to each other," he said.

"The possibility of establishing such a group was really discussed. Whether it will be established or not, time will tell, but the heads of state spoke about the possibility… The [Russian] president gave the necessary assurances and clarifications to President [Donald] Trump that any statements about alleged involvement of some official Russian institutions in cyberattacks during the US election campaign are pure fiction," Peskov said.
