dailymail.co.uk

Vladimir Putin congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, calling him "courageous" for how he handled an assassination attempt during his campaign. Putin expressed readiness to discuss relations with Trump, who indicated they would likely speak soon. Trump's victory comes after nearly three years of war in Ukraine, which began during Joe Biden's presidency. Putin noted that he hopes to restore diplomatic relations with the U.S. and acknowledged Trump's challenges during his previous term. Putin's remarks suggest a potential shift in U.S.-Russia relations under Trump, who has promised to address the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin's support for Trump contrasts with the current U.S. administration's stance on Russia.
