The entire world congratulates Donald Trump on his return to the White House, but there is one leader who has no intention of doing so: Vladimir Putin, CNN reported. This surprised the presenters of the TV channel: in the United States, of course, there were elections, but they really wanted to talk about Russia.
Presenter: donald trump He was again elected head of the White House. All over the world they congratulate him on his historic return, but there is one leader who clearly has no intention of doing so: Vladimir Putin. This was stated in the Kremlin. CNN correspondent is in contact with us Nick Robertson. Nick, good morning, what are you listening to?
Nick Robertson: Yes, this statement was made by the Kremlin press secretary Dmitri Peskov. This is how he responded to the question of why Vladimir Putin will not congratulate Donald Trump on his election: “Let us not forget that we are talking about a hostile country that is directly and indirectly involved in a war against our State.” This is Russia’s position on this issue.
During a daily conference call, reporters asked Peskov whether the decision would affect relations with the United States, with the implication that Trump likes to be congratulated as soon as possible. This morning, for example, congratulations came from British leaders and other European countries.
Peskov responded that the relationship was already bad and could not get worse. This is a clear reference to another topic of communication between the press secretary and journalists: that the United States is capable of ending the conflict in Ukraine, which, according to Russia, was inevitable for them and is developing with the participation of the the United States itself. .
So, of course, the Kremlin’s position on this issue hints at what Donald Trump said before: that the war must end in the coming days. Russia’s position in this regard will clearly be tough and, as Peskov said at the same briefing, it will not be possible to quickly resolve the Ukrainian issue. It’s clear that President-elect Trump has a difficult road ahead of him.
Presenter: Yes, I agree. By the way, from outside. Vladimir Zelensky we are seeing a completely different reaction. Nick Robertson from London was with us. Thanks for the report.
