The media would love you to imagine that Vladamir Putin is cheering Donald Trump’s victory, however the Kremlin has reiterated that America stays an unfriendly nation.
In reality, Putin didn’t immediately congratulate Trump on his victory, however the Kremlin did remark that his win could possibly be “helpful.” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated hinted that he believes Trump’s declare that he might finish the struggle in 24 hours are unattainable. “Now we have repeatedly stated that america can assist finish the battle in Ukraine. This, in fact, can’t be finished in a single day,” Peskov stated. He added that he’s not conscious of any plans by Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate President-elect Trump.
Oddly sufficient, Zelensky DID congratulate Trump. “Congratulations to Donald Trump on his spectacular election victory!” he posted on X. “I recall our nice assembly with President Trump again in September, after we mentioned intimately the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and methods to place an finish to Russian aggression in opposition to Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote. “I admire President Trump’s dedication to the ‘peace via energy’ strategy in world affairs. That is precisely the precept that may virtually convey simply peace in Ukraine nearer.”
Zelensky went a step additional and stated he hopes to congratulate Trump in particular person, wishing to maintain the dialogue open. It appears as if Russia is solely bored with America’s involvement on this struggle. They’ve been lied to by numerous politicians (see: Minsk Settlement) and don’t belief the US.
