Putin rejects suggestions of talks with opposition (AP)

MOSCOW ? Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has rejected the possibility of talks with opposition leaders who drew tens of thousands of people to protest rallies across the country.

The prime minister told Russian news agencies on Wednesday that "there's no one to talk to" among the leaders.

Putin's authority was dented by a recent parliamentary election in which his party lost 25 percent of seats despite widespread allegations of vote-rigging in its favor.

The vote fraud triggered the country's largest protest rallies in 20 years that demanded a rerun of the vote and Putin's resignation.

Putin on Tuesday firmly rejected the protesters' demands.

Putin served as Russia's president in 2000-2008 and is now seeking a third term in office.
