Trump and Putin: Hope for peace after the election!

Moskau, Russland - Moscow is excited! The Kremlin sees Donald Trump, the newly elected US President, a hope for a less confrontational relationship with Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow announced that the signals from Washington were "positive". While Joe Biden speaks of tensions, Trump relies on peace and deals. "He does not talk about confrontation, but of opportunities that could lead to peace," said Peskow. These words could break the ice between the two nations!

Putin himself congratulated Trump on Thursday on his election victory and indicated that a phone call between the two was still possible before Trump's inauguration on January 20. "Trump is less predictable," Peskow noticed. This leaves space for speculation about the future policy of the United States towards Russia. In contrast, there is radio silence between bidges and Putin, the diplomatic relationships are at a low point. The Kremlin hopes that Trump can keep the promises from his election campaign, especially the claim to end the Ukraine war quickly.

a new wind in relationships?

The last contacts between Moscow and Washington were through mediators, for example when exchanging prisoners. The military guided tours of both countries have speeches sporadically, but the tensions are tangible. Critics accuse Trump of being too close to Russia and Putin, and it remains to be seen whether relationships under his leadership will actually improve. The Kremlin is looking forward to the upcoming developments and the possibility that Trump puts the announced changes into practice.
