When President Obama congratulated Vladimir Putin today for winning the Russian presidential election, the two leaders discussed how the “reset” between the United States and Russia has been “succcesful” — but did not, apparently, discuss the rampant election fraud reported to have compromised the Russian presidential race.

“President Obama and President-Elect Putin agreed that the successful reset in relations should be built upon during the coming years,” the White House Press Office announced in a readout of the call. “President Obama and President-Elect Putin agreed to continue discussions on areas where the United States and Russia have differed, including Syria and missile defense.” The heads of state “agreed to continue their efforts to find common ground and remove obstacles to better relations.”
