“We believe that it is right to wait until the election results are officially calculated. I want to remind you that President Putin has repeatedly said that he will respect the choice of the American people,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Many world leaders congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden when it became clear that he had gained an irrevocable advantage over Donald Trump.

When asked by journalists why Putin congratulated Trump on the election four years ago, practically as soon as preliminary results were announced, Peskov said the situation was completely different now.
“It just came to our attention then. You see, there is a legal procedure ahead that has been announced by the incumbent president. That is the situation. Therefore, we believe it would be correct to receive an official announcement,” he said.
A Kremlin spokesman said four years ago that there was no talk of a legal challenge to the election results.
Asked by which institution the Kremlin would consider the announced results official, D. Peskov replied: “I will abstain. So far, there is no official result. “
