President Putin has congratulated Donald Trump as he prepares to return to the White House, hailing his plans to restore direct contact with Moscow and his efforts to “prevent a third world war”.
“We welcome this attitude and congratulate the elected president of the United States of America on taking office,” Putin said in comments to members of Russia’s national security council ahead of Trump’s inauguration ceremony in Washington. Putin did not congratulate President Biden until six days after his inauguration in 2021.
He also said that Russia was open to dialogue with the Trump administration on the war in Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly warned that western military backing for Kyiv could trigger a nuclear conflict.

I say let Europe take Ukraine 🇺🇦 (since they want it so bad) and in return America 🇺🇸 will join team Russia 🇷🇺 and China 🇨🇳
Let the games begin
So basically everything Lex Fridman said on JRE about Putin was a complete lie. LOL
What most of you dont know is the war in Ukraine was all USA fault they broke there word , when germany war givin back to the german people amercia and the allies want to bring down the berlin wall and give the germans back there country…ussr said they would agree as long as they didnt build anymore nato bases in the east of europe…and what happened they built bases in bulgaria romania and many more countries..once they started buildint bases in ukraine the russians had enought…
Respect for both powerful leaders. May our nations prosper together, in peace.
Very well said by Putin. Things are looking hopeful. I see a deal being struck in the near future over the conflict, benefitting all sides. Call.Donald Trump.what you want but you can't deny that he is a peacemaker. He is diplomatic and has a way of bringing opposing sides together. I like that about him and also that he speaks his mind, no holds barred.The best of luck to the U.S. with your new president, let's hope he will indeed make America great again,! from the U.K. ❤️
Poo tin the party is over ❤❤
Poo tin is pro kamala remember
Putin is a man of his word.
This is great news for all.
Spoken like a true leader. Russia WANTED to JOIN NATO and WE said no. He just wants respect. And to be taken seriously. I believe we could have a good relationship with Russia.

největší terorista na světě zase blábolí svoje nesmysly. to se fakt nedá poslouchat.
The biggest terrorist and liar in the world is blabbering his nonsense again. It's really hard to listen to.
you getting out from Ukraine will stop ww3
so disappointed Vladimir and the russian federation have submitted to the western agenda.
The root cause ? Well. I commend Putin for his congratulating Trump. He didnt have to. I just hopes he signs a deal of cease fire. Let ukraine have some kind of soverignty. And commit to reopening mother russia back to the rest of the world perhaps? It would be something special if we could all see world peace. And i am sure there is a chance at this. Make peace. For the world, for the future of politics, And most importantly, humanity.
Putin is begging now. He used to act like he thought he could poison anyone in the world
Господин Президент, нам здесь, наверное, понадобятся войска, как в Чехии, некоторые люди хотят переворота, как в 1968 году.
И они хотят уничтожить то, что ваш народ завоевал для нас.
История повторяется
He cought before he said that he dont want ww3 🫢 0:47
God bless mr. President Vladimir Putin. I wish him all the best. Same whole Russia.
I never agreed with this totally artificial and unnecessary conflict with Russia. Now that we have adults in charge of both countries we have a much better chance for peace.
Oswald not Russian lol..
Daddy, stop sending your sons into the so-called "Special Military Operation". You are sending them into Hocus-Pocus, Abracadabra, Simsalabim and 💥 Boom. You are losing the credits the Russian people gave to you in the past. It's nobody's interest to go on the way you are doing now.
Trump is a guy who has the respect of those leaders that like him AND hate him.
Just getting done and hit the button already Putin Trump is not your friend anymore
Peace and unity is what we need! Also 900th comment.
Lockheed Martin fue el unico emporio industrial que salió claramente victorioso de la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania.
Los mercaderes de la muerte 💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️
He's scared
Please Mr Putin….. learn…. Dolan thumb
