Russian President Vladimir Putin has no plans to congratulate Donald Trump, according to a Kremlin spokesperson. The spokesperson cited the strained relationship between the two countries, describing the US as an unfriendly nation directly and indirectly involved in conflicts against Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is closely monitoring the US election developments and will refrain from giving an official assessment until concrete words and actions are observed. Peskov emphasized the need for patience, noting that the current US president will remain in office for almost another month and a half.
