The world is keenly watching US President-elect Donald Trump who had vowed in his election rallies to stop all wars. He told supporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida that they said, ‘he will start a war’, but he highlighted that he is going to stop wars.

In June 2023, Trump made a well-publicized claim that he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. However, he didn’t mention Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky or the Kremlin in his speech. And now that Trump has won the 2024 US Presidential Election, becoming the 47^th President of the United States, Moscow has given due congratulations.

Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said ties couldn’t possibly get any worse. He believes it is impossible to worsen Russia-US relations which are already at the lowest point in history. Peskov said he wasn’t aware of any plans of Russian President Vladimir Putin formally congratulate Donald Trump. He highlighted that the US is an unfriendly country that is both directly and indirectly involved in a war against Russia.
