As for the greeting, I do not know whether the president will greet Trump... Let's not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country that is directly and indirectly involved in the war against our country

- Peskov said during his briefing.

Peskov said that the preliminary results of the US election remain an internal affair of that country, and explained the optimistic reaction of some Russian politicians to Donald Trump's likely victory by his “peaceful aspirations in the international arena.

We'll see what happens in January... We will mainly draw conclusions on the statements on the topics on our agenda when they come in and on the first concrete steps

In addition, according to CNN , Peskov said that it is impossible to end what he calls “the conflict” in Ukraine overnight.

“We have repeatedly said that the United States can help put an end to the conflict. Of course, this cannot be achieved overnight,” Peskov said.
