The media would really like you to consider that Vladamir Putin is cheering Donald Trump’s victory, however the Kremlin has reiterated that America stays an unfriendly nation.
Actually, Putin didn’t straight congratulate Trump on his victory, however the Kremlin did remark that his win might be “useful.” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned hinted that he believes Trump’s declare that he may finish the struggle in 24 hours are unattainable. “We have repeatedly said that the United States can help end the conflict in Ukraine. This, of course, cannot be done overnight,” Peskov mentioned. He added that he’s not conscious of any plans by Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate President-elect Trump.
Oddly sufficient, Zelensky DID congratulate Trump. “Congratulations to Donald Trump on his impressive election victory!” he posted on X. “I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote. “I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer.”
Zelensky went a step additional and mentioned he hopes to congratulate Trump in particular person, wishing to maintain the dialogue open. It appears as if Russia is solely uninterested in America’s involvement on this struggle. They’ve been lied to by numerous politicians (see: Minsk Settlement) and don’t belief the US. Zelensky, alternatively, should attraction to Donald Trump as Ukraine relies on NATO which relies on US funding.
Now, we wait to see the steps Trump takes to sort out this monstrosity. The suggestions from the Ukrainian and Russian leaders is just not fairly what most anticipated.
