Vladimir Putin remembered Donald Trump while speaking to journalists in Astana. Some questions from media representatives concerned the war between Ukraine and Russia, which the newly elected American president promised to end within 24 hours.
CNN reports this.
In response to journalists’ questions, Putin praised the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, calling him an “intelligent and experienced” politician capable of making “decisions” amid tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine. But the Kremlin dictator criticized current US President Joe Biden, saying his decisions create “additional difficulties” for the future Trump administration. This is especially true in the case of Biden’s authorization for Ukrainian forces to use long-range US ATACMS missiles to attack Russian territory.
The publication writes that the Russian leader also warned that Moscow could strike Ukraine again using the nuclear-capable Oreshnik ballistic missile, following a recent large-scale attack on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure.
Asked whether Biden’s decision would affect relations between Moscow and Washington, Putin expressed hope that the situation could change positively after Trump takes office in January.
“As I can imagine, the newly elected president is an intelligent and experienced person, I believe he will find a solution,” Putin said.
Recall that Cursor wrote that the newly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, is considering the possibility of lifting sanctions on Russia in the interests of a peace agreement that would be beneficial for Ukraine.
Cursor also reported that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson believes that if a truce is reached between Ukraine and Russia, a multinational peacekeeping mission should take responsibility for ensuring security along the demarcation line.
Kursor reported that European countries are strengthening measures to prepare the population for possible military threats from Russia. The aggravation of the situation due to the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has forced several European countries to reconsider their approaches to civil defense.
