Russian President Vladimir Putin praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump as an 'intelligent' and 'experienced' politician capable of finding solutions to ongoing issues, including ending the war in Ukraine. Putin expressed concern for Trump's safety, stating, 'I think he is not safe even now,' and alleged that 'absolutely uncivilized means' such as 'numerous assassination attempts' have been used against him. He criticized the Democratic Party for attacking Trump's family, describing their actions as dishonorable and likening them to criminal groups in Russia that 'don't touch the families of their rivals.' Putin also suggested that the Biden administration's escalation may be intended to make life difficult for Trump, but he believes Trump will be able to come up with solutions. He emphasized Moscow's readiness to engage in dialogue with Washington under Trump's leadership.
