Russian president congratulates Republican leader on his election victory
Vladimir Putin on Thursday congratulated Donald Trump on his US election victory and said he was ready to speak with him, describing the Republican leader’s campaign trail comments on restoring relations with Russia and ending the Ukraine war as “worthy of attention”. The Russian president said he had normal relations with Trump in the past, and would be willing to take his call, or to contact him first.
Trump has previously called Putin a “genius” following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said he would end the fighting on “day one” if he were to be re-elected — although he has provided few details about how he would achieve this. Despite Putin’s apparent willingness to consider Trump’s foreign policy proposals, he showed no flexibility in Russia’s negotiating position on Ukraine.
