Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to see Donald Trump’s return to the White House as a new era of less hostile relations between the two countries, congratulating the new president and calling for the need to prevent World War III. Emphasized gender.
Knewz.com has learned that the Russian dictator said in a meeting with the Security Council that Russia “welcomes” the Trump administration’s desire to restore direct communication with Russia.
Earlier, the Russian president congratulated “a real man” Trump on his victory in the White House amid concerns about what the win could mean for the future of the Ukraine war.
President Putin congratulated the 78-year-old Republican candidate on his election victory and issued a statement saying, “I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as President of the United States.”
The Russian president also praised Trump for surviving multiple assassination attempts and called the president-elect a “real man,” according to reports.
“In my opinion, he acted in a very correct way, bravely, like a real man,” Putin was quoted as saying.
Later, President Putin reportedly made another remark about President Trump, saying, “I felt that President Trump was being ‘bullied’ during his first stay in the White House.”
Putin told the Security Council on January 20 that “the pre-election period was not easy for US President-elect Donald Trump,” but that he “showed courage and achieved a convincing victory.” .
“President (Putin) says Russia welcomes the U.S. president-elect’s commitment to preventing World War III and his desire to ‘restore direct contacts’ with Moscow,” Russian state media reported. Reported.
The Russian president added that dialogue between the two countries must be based on “equality and mutual respect.”
It is worth noting that some time ago President Putin made chilling threats against Ukraine’s Western allies. This was prompted by President Joe Biden’s administration’s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S. missiles to attack targets deep inside Russian territory.
One reason why Kremlin politicians appear hopeful about Trump’s presidency is that they believe the rapprochement promoted by the Trump administration over the Ukraine war will benefit Russia, according to reports. .
President Putin stated the following about the future of the Ukraine conflict in a meeting with the Security Council and in communications with the US government regarding it:
“The most important thing is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis. This is what we have talked about many times. This is the most essential thing.”
“When it comes to resolving the situation, the goal is not a short-term cease-fire or respite to regroup, but to achieve a lasting peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all peoples living in the area. “I would like to emphasize that we will strengthen our military and rearmament with the aim of continuing the conflict, but in the interests of all individuals and all ethnic groups living in the region,” he said, according to Russian state media TASS. He said he aims for a lasting peace based on respect.
It is speculated that the settlement brokered by the US government will allow President Putin to retain territory annexed by the Russian military and freeze the current front lines.
But anti-Putin activists say the Russian president could use these gains to launch new attacks in the future, penetrating deeper into Ukrainian territory.
