据央视新闻援引《华盛顿邮报》11月10日报道称，俄罗斯总统普京与美国当选总统特朗普已于7日通电话。这是特朗普赢得大选以来两人首次通话。 虽然不久之后克宫发言人、俄总统新闻秘书佩斯科夫就出来辟谣说，普京并未与特朗普通话，此类信息是谎言，与事实不符。但11月8日，俄新社报道称：“美国财政部当天对俄罗斯11家金融机构采取了允许能源相关交易的破格措施。” 具体解除制裁的银行名单如下： (1) State Corporation Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs Vnesheconombank; (2) Public Joint Stock Company Bank Financial Corporation Otkritie; (3) Sovcombank Open Joint Stock Company; (4) Public Joint Stock Company Sberbank of Russia; (5) VTB Bank Public Joint Stock Company; (6) Joint Stock Company Alfa-Bank; (7) Public Joint Stock Company Rosbank; (8) Bank Zenit Public Joint Stock Company; (9) Bank Saint-Petersburg Public Joint Stock Company; (10) National Clearing Center (NCC); (11) the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
