Biden was declared the winner four days after the November 3 election. Russian President Vladimir Putin said a little later that he would receive the official election results before congratulating Biden. Only when Biden received 306 votes out of 538 in the so-called Electors College on December 14 did Putin send a congratulatory message to the Democrat.
In it, the Kremlin leader expresses his conviction that Russia and the United States, “despite differences of opinion, can solve many problems and challenges” in the world.
“For my part, I am ready to cooperate and contact you,” Putin said in a telegram.

Biden will take office as president of the United States on January 20.
