Russian President Vladimir Putin said he’s ready to work with any U.S. leader, but still isn’t ready to recognize the election victory of Joe Biden.
“We will work with anyone who has the confidence of the American people,” Putin said on Russian state TV Sunday. “But that confidence can only be given to a candidate whose victory has been recognized by the opposing party, or after the results are confirmed in a legitimate, legal way.”
The comments are some of the most detailed since the election from Putin, one of a dwindling number of leaders who haven’t recognized Biden as the next U.S. head of state. Russia, accused by U.S. intelligence agencies of intervening in 2016 to help get Trump elected, has been wary of Biden, fearing an increase in sanctions pressure and clashes over human rights.
Putin described the Kremlin’s decision not to congratulate Biden as “a formality” with no ulterior motives. When asked if the move could damage U.S.-Russia relations, he said: “there’s nothing to damage, they’re already ruined.”

Putin is not a coward like Bibi Netanyahu. He knows that Biden hasn’t won. Why should he congratulate a criminal?
Neither have the Presidents of Brazil, Mexico, Hugarian, China and others congratulated Biden.
Chaim
Bibi needs to come on to the US, Putin doesnt. Big difference
Matzav: you’ve got to work on your titles- a bit too sensational- Emes is important- the article didn’t say he won’t just that he won’t yet- you could have just as easily titled it: Putin will congratulate legally confirmed nominee.
Why don’t you start your own website
Not a bad idea 😉
Though they’ve gotten slightly better with the titles lately
Of course, Matzav will applaud and egg on every single thug on the international scene who doesn’t support carrot-head’s opponent. At least good you didn’t laud the Iranians for deprecating Biden.
This just goes to prove that President Trump has, and still is, colluding with Russia. We must convene a hearing immediately and have Trump impeached.
