The Russian government has stated it currently has no plans to issue a congratulatory message to former U.S. President Donald Trump, as there are no official results confirming his victory in the U.S. election. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia’s response will be based on verified outcomes, indicating that the government is waiting for clear and official election results before making any formal statements.
Peskov emphasized that Russia respects the internal processes of other nations, particularly in cases as sensitive as a presidential election. The Kremlin is reportedly cautious, taking steps to avoid any actions that could be perceived as interference in the democratic processes of the United States.
This stance comes amid heightened attention on international relations and election integrity in the U.S. While some Russian officials have expressed informal support for Trump, Peskov clarified that any formal acknowledgment would come only after all legal and procedural steps in the election process are complete.
