When Trump won against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in 2016, President Putin called him to congratulate him in an hour.
As for the 2020 election year, Biden announced his election on July 7, but so far Moscow has made no move.
“We believe that we should await the official results of the US elections. I want to remind everyone that President Putin always claims that he will respect the decisions of the American people, “the AFP news agency quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying on November 9.
So far, many world leaders have called to congratulate Mr. Biden. Even Saudi Arabia finally congratulated Biden after more than 24 hours since announcing his victory.
The Kremlin spokesman reiterated that Moscow is ready to work with whoever is the final winner.
“We hope that the next president of the United States will facilitate the resumption of the bilateral dialogue and reach the necessary consensus to normalize relations between Russia and the United States,” Peskov said.
Meanwhile, Biden is expected to behave more “solidly” toward Russia after entering the White House. During the campaign, he repeatedly criticized President Trump for being too lenient towards many world leaders, the first being Putin.
