Vladimir Putin attends the Valdai Forum in the resort of Sochi. From there the Russian president was first positioned for the election of Donald Trump in the USA.
He first congratulated him on the election and then indicated that he is ready to sit at the same table with him. “He behaved, in my opinion, in a very proper way, courageously, like a real man. I take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election,” he said initially.
He then said: “He’s been hounded on all sides in the tumultuous presidential campaign,” but said Trump’s remarks on Ukraine and mending relations with Russia deserve attention.
“What was said about the desire to restore relations with Russia, to bring an end to the Ukrainian crisis, in my opinion this deserves at least attention”
We recall that Trump said during the election campaign that he could bring peace to Ukraine within 24 hours if elected, but has given few details on how he would seek to end Europe’s largest land war since World War II. War.
Putin, when asked what he would do if Trump called to propose a meeting, said he was ready to resume contacts if a Trump administration so desired and was open to discussion.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that the Russian leadership remembered Trump’s words about trying to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, even if he exaggerated the speed with which he could do so.
