Quote from Peskov: “We are analysing the words that are being said and we will make conclusions regarding claims about issues that are on our agenda when we hear them. That will have to wait, given that the current US president will be in office for almost a month and a half.
I am unaware of [Putin’s] plans to congratulate Trump. Let’s not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country which is directly and indirectly involved in the war against our country (Russia – ed.).”
Details: In a comment about Trump’s claim that he can restore peace in Ukraine, Peskov said that his words may take on a different tone if and when Trump enters the Oval Office.
