Putin applauds Trump, criticizes Biden amid missile threat

Many reports shared by Russian media and government representatives are likely not true. Such reports may be part of the information warfare by the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Putin is visiting Kazakhstan. During a conversation with journalists, he criticized U.S. President Joe Biden for creating "additional difficulties" for the incoming Trump administration. He referred to the approval of missile strikes on Russian territory.

Putin threatened the use of the Oreshnik ballistic missile again. Suddenly, he was asked whether the U.S. decision could affect future Russian-American relations.

The President of Russia stated that relations between Moscow and Washington could change when Donald Trump comes to power.

From what I imagine, the newly elected president is an intelligent and quite experienced man. I think he will find a solution," said Putin about the president-elect.

The Russian leader also mentioned that Trump went through a tough ordeal when an attacker shot him. He also criticized the supposedly "humiliating, baseless judicial procedures" to which Trump was "subjected" during the campaign. Let's recall that a jury in Manhattan found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the criminal case related to hush money payments, making him the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime.

Putin also claimed that the current U.S. President Joe Biden only "escalates" the conflict. He completely ignored the fact that his country attacked a neighbor and occupies its lands.

Let's recall that Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within a day. However, he never indicated how he intended to force Moscow and Kyiv to agree to an armistice. To see how true Trump's words are, we will find out in January when he officially takes the helm in the United States.
