Kremlin spokesman: I don’t know about Putin’s plan to congratulate Trump

According to RCO News Agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “Regarding congratulating Donald Trump, the winning candidate of the November 5 US presidential election, I have to say that I do not know the plan of Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

The Kremlin spokesman also continued to say that it is almost impossible for relations between Moscow and Washington to deteriorate more than this.

In response to the question of whether Trump will be offended if Putin does not congratulate Trump and whether this will worsen relations between the two countries, Peskov told reporters: “It is practically impossible for relations between Russia and the United States to deteriorate more than this.” . “Relations between the two countries are at a historic low, and what happens next depends on American leadership.”

This official in the Kremlin added: “America is an unfriendly country that is directly and indirectly involved in the war against Russia.”

He also strongly denied reports about Russia’s alleged meddling in the US presidential election.
