Kremlin spokesman Peskov warns against Trump’s unpredictability.
Russia sees “positive signals” in the attitude of the newly elected US President Donald Trump towards the conflict in Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said this on Sunday, but according to him it is difficult to predict how Trump will behave in the White House. TASR informs about it according to the report of the AFP agency.
“The signals are positive. Trump talked about the fact that he perceives everything through agreements, that he can conclude an agreement that can lead to peace,” Peskov said in an interview with Russian state media.
“At least he talks about peace and not confrontation. He is not talking about the fact that he wants to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia – that is how he differs from the current administration,” the Kremlin spokesman added.
According to him, Trump is less predictable than the current administration in the US
However, Peskov also warned against Trump’s unpredictability and said that time will tell whether his victory in the US presidential election can bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
“It’s hard to say what’s going to happen next,” he said. Trump, he said, is “less predictable” than current US President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. “It’s also less predictable to what extent he will stick to the statements he made during the campaign “, he concluded.
During the election campaign, Republican Trump questioned the continuation of US military support for Kiev and claimed that he could resolve the conflict in Ukraine in 24 hours. However, he refused to reveal how he wants to achieve this.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump on his victory in the presidential election on Thursday and announced that he was ready to talk to him. According to him, any ideas regarding ending the conflict in Ukraine deserve attention.
