The Russian president’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said the Kremlin does not yet plan to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election. In a conversation with journalists, the official representative of the Kremlin dictator emphasized that the United States remains a “hostile country” that, according to Peskov, participates in military operations against the Russian Federation, providing support to Ukraine.
“At the moment, I am not aware of the president’s plans to congratulate Trump,” Peskov said. He noted that Russia will analyze Trump’s statements, but the final conclusions will be drawn on the basis of the statements and positions that the new US president will express on key issues for the Russian Federation after taking office. Peskov recalled that the current American president will continue to serve for another month and a half, and added that relations between the countries “remain tense.”
The spokesperson also commented on Trump’s comments about “world peace,” adding that such words could change the tone when the president-elect begins work in the Oval Office.
