The first to react in Russia to Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections was the former Russian president and current number two on the Kremlin Security Council, Dmitri Medvedev. He has just assured through social networks that “Trump has a quality that is useful for us. As a businessman to the core, he mortally hates spending money on various parasites and opportunists: on stupid allies, on nefarious charitable projects and on insatiable international organizations. “The toxic Ukraine of Stepan Bandera’s supporters is in that same situation.” category,” adds Medvedev. However, the one who was head of the Russian State between 2008 and 2012 believes that “the question now arises as to whether Trump will not be forced to contribute to the conflict in Ukraine.” According to opinion, the new president-elect of the United States “is stubborn, but the system is stronger.” Medvedev, however, emphasizes that “Kamala Harris is over and the Special Military Operation in Ukraine will continue until the stated objectives are achieved” (denazification, demilitarization and neutral status of the neighboring country). Shortly after, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov , admitted in his usual appearance before the press that “I do not know President Vladimir Putin’s plans on whether he is going to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the elections (…) let’s not forget that we are talking of a hostile country that is directly and indirectly involved in a war against our State. When asked if they are not afraid that Trump could be offended if Putin does not congratulate him, the presidential spokesman responded that “it is practically impossible to make things even worse, Moscow and Washington are in the worst moment in the history of their relationships. Its future development will depend on the measures Trump adopts starting in January.

Peskov, likewise, refused to assess the results of the vote, pointing out that the elections “are an internal matter of the United States.” The presidential spokesman, however, said that “Trump’s statements may indicate his intention to renounce the continuation of old wars and the imposition of new ones.” In his opinion, it cannot be ruled out that the Republican “may change the tone of his rhetoric.” He also assured that Putin “has repeatedly spoken of his willingness to have a dialogue based on equality.” “But it will not be possible to resolve the situation overnight,” Peskov said. The Kremlin welcomed Trump’s victory in 2016, but later saw its hopes disappointed by the adoption of more sanctions by Washington. Different representatives of the Russian power have been emphasizing in recent weeks that they do not expect anything good from either Trump or Harris, although in the private comments of certain officials it seems evident that they have preferred the victory of the Republican candidate after his constant statements regarding that it would stop spending money on sending weapons to Ukraine and would force Kiev to negotiate with Moscow to end the war, predictably making serious territorial concessions. For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram that «I send my congratulations to Donald Trump on his impressive electoral victory. I remember our wonderful meeting with President Trump in September, when we discussed in detail the strategic partnership between Ukraine and the United States, the Victory Plan and ways to stop Russian aggression against Ukraine (…) I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to his approach of “peace through strength” in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring about a just peace in Ukraine. I hope that together we will make it a reality.” At the same time, Zelensky says he is interested in “developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that benefits both countries. Ukraine, as one of Europe’s strongest military powers, is committed to ensuring long-term peace and security in Europe and the transatlantic community with the support of our allies. I hope to have the opportunity to personally congratulate President Trump and discuss ways to strengthen the strategic partnership between Ukraine and the United States.” Also congratulating Trump were the President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, the head of the Government of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadir Zhaparov, the Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, and the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobajidze, who has expressed the desire for a new stage to open “to help relaunch relations between our countries”, which deteriorated during Joe Biden’s mandate after the pro-Russian direction taken by Tbilisi.
