In Russia, we had to wait until the middle of the day, Wednesday November 6, to hear an official reaction to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. Answering radio questions Maiak, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov began by pointing out that outgoing President Joe Biden remains in charge for a good month and a half, suggesting that a lot could happen between now and then. “Let’s wait and see,” he repeated several times.
As for the Republican candidate’s stated goal of ending the war in Ukraine “in twenty-four hours” after taking office at the White House, Dmitry Peskov conceded that this was a statement “relatively important”, the United States being, according to him, the main country to “pour oil on the flame” in this conflict. “But, once in the Oval Office, these statements sometimes take on a different tone,” he warned.
