[Putin: Trump is "smart and experienced", worried that he is not safe at the moment] Golden Finance reported that according to CNN, on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised US President-elect Trump as a "smart and experienced" politician who can find "solutions." Putin also condemned Biden for creating "additional difficulties" for the incoming Trump administration because Biden allowed Ukraine to launch US-made ATACMS long-range missiles at targets in Russia. When asked whether Biden's decision would affect future relations between Russia and the United States, Putin said that the situation might improve after Trump takes office in January next year. Putin also said that Trump has overcome the "severe test" of returning to the White House, referring to the two assassination attempts Trump encountered during the campaign. Putin said that "absolutely uncivilized means of struggle" have been used against Trump more than once, adding that he is worried that Trump is not safe at the moment. Speaking of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Putin threatened to launch more of Russia's new medium-range ballistic missiles, warning: "We will use the means at our disposal." "It is not ruled out that the "Hazel" missiles will be used against the Ukrainian army, military industrial facilities or decision-making centers, including Kiev, because the Kiev authorities continue to try to attack our important facilities today."
