In Moscow, they see "positive signals" in the position of US President-elect Donald Trump regarding Russia's war against Ukraine. This was stated in an interview with rosZMI by the spokesman of the ruler of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, Dmytro Peskov.
According to him, Trump "talks about peace" and not about confrontation, while "he does not talk about the desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, and this favorably distinguishes him from the current administration."
"The signals are positive. Trump talked during his election campaign about how he sees everything through agreements, that he can make an agreement that can lead to peace," the speaker said.
At the same time, according to him, it is difficult to predict to what extent Trump will adhere to the statements made during the election campaign.
