Russian President Vladimir Putin will not join the chorus of world leaders celebrating President Donald Trump's historic election victory, with his spokesman saying U.S.-Russian relations are at “the lowest point in history.” He said it was located at the “point”.
On Wednesday, political leaders from across Europe sent letters of congratulations to former and future President Donald Trump, some out of genuine joy and others for damage control, but the Russian government says that President Vladimir Putin is not happy about the news.
Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told domestic media on Wednesday that he had no knowledge that Putin was planning to congratulate him. Relations between the United States and Russia are already at their worst point in history, and it is virtually impossible for relations to worsen any further. ”
In further remarks, Mr. Peskov said Russia expressed its sentiments toward the next government, expected in January 2025, by “the statement on the issues on our agenda, when we received it, and his first concrete Russia said it would continue to be open to “constructive dialogue” with the United States. Exactly Russia proposed “dialogue” There had been several negotiations in the past regarding the Ukraine war, but Moscow must have been well aware that no one would accept the offer given such extreme conditions.
Russia responded calmly, with Valentina Matviyenko, the speaker of the Russian parliament's upper house, saying, “I do not think the results of the US election will have dramatic or fundamental implications for us.'' The war in Ukraine is on President Trump's agenda.
Donald Trump told Breitbart News at the beginning of his campaign that he wanted to bring peace to Ukraine quickly — perhaps before he got the keys to the White House — “I want to see the deaths stop.” I want to,” he said. he said in August.
President Trump knows Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and believes that if he is re-elected on November 5th, he will be able to negotiate peace to end the “death” and “destruction.” He said there was.
“I know the leaders of both countries,” President Trump said. “I know President Putin very well. I want to see the death stop. There is death, there is destruction. They are destroying the entire fabric of certain parts of the world. I want to negotiate and make it happen. ”
… “If you look at the heritage of this country, the cities are almost destroyed,” President Trump said of Ukraine. “They're flattened. They're completely flattened. Have you seen some of these cities? No buildings are built. The country is devastated. So I call it I want to solve it, and I'm going to be able to solve it. And I want to do it before I become the next president and get to the White House.”
In contrast to the Kremlin's public aloof stance on Trump's victory today, British newspapers times quote Russian opposition news sites claimed that Putin and his allies had, in fact, already secretly congratulated Trump personally. However, this claim was presented without supporting evidence.
