Did Trump go back on his word? Putin didn't receive Trump's call, but Russia received bad news overnight! With the results of the U.S. presidential election coming to light, Trump emerged victorious, and America is facing a turning point in its fate, while the international situation is also on the brink of a new round of changes.
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly stated that if he won the election, he would 'quickly calm' the Russia-Ukraine conflict, including calling Putin on the day of his victory to discuss ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
However, it has been 2 days since Trump's victory was confirmed, and Putin has yet to receive a call from Trump.
Nevertheless, while it is unclear whether Trump has 'gone back on his word,' Putin has taken the initiative to speak out.
On the 8th, Russian news agency TASS reported that during Putin's participation in the 21st annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, he congratulated Trump and stated that if Western leaders show initiative, then he is willing to restore contact with them. He also mentioned that Trump's statements regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict during his campaign are worth noting, and emphasized that Russia is willing to create conditions for restarting the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and is open to negotiations.
Putin also pointed out that pressuring Russia is futile and will produce counterproductive results, and that negotiations can only begin under the conditions of considering each other's legitimate interests.
The implication is that Russia is willing to engage in ceasefire negotiations, but it must be done under the premise of 'respecting Russia's legitimate interests.' Attempts to force Russia back to the negotiating table through pressure are likely to be ineffective.
