Putin remains silent on Trump's re-election as world leaders extend congratulations

Donald Trump has been re-elected as the 47th president of the United States, with several world leaders congratulating him. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not officially congratulated Trump, stating that Russia will judge him based on his actions. Reports suggest that Putin may have congratulated Trump through intermediaries, despite the Kremlin's official stance. Other Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, have expressed their congratulations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that relations between Russia and the U.S. are at a historic low. He stated that any future dialogue will depend on Trump's actions once he takes office.
