Putin praises Trump's Ukraine proposals and congratulates him on election win
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Donald Trump on his recent election victory and expressed willingness to discuss Trump's proposals for improving U.S.-Russia relations and ending the Ukraine war. Putin described these ideas as "worthy of attention."
Trump confirmed he is open to speaking with Putin and mentioned he has already talked to many world leaders, including Ukraine's president. He has previously stated he would end the Ukraine conflict quickly if re-elected.
