Lowering expectations! Why didn't Putin publicly congratulate Trump on his

Donald Trump won the presidential election again and will live in the White House. After all, during the campaign, the Republican candidate had avoided criticizing Vladimir Putin. Unlike Kamala Harris, who called Putin " a murderous dictator ".

Trump had also questioned the level of US military aid to Kiev. Publicly, however, the Kremlin is doing everything to give the impression that it is not thrilled by a Trump victory.

 " I am not aware of any plans [for President Putin] to congratulate Trump, " Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. " Remember that [America] is a 'non-enemy country' which is directly and indirectly involved in a war against our state ," Peskov added.

Lowering expectations –  Donald Trump is winning again, with almost the same number of votes as in his first term. The Kremlin had high hopes that a Trump presidency would transform US-Russia relations. But this did not happen when Donald Trump was at the head of America.

One expert said he thinks that under Trump, the United States will "retreat" from its global superpower status. It remains to be seen what will happen next, and in relations with Russia, after Trump sits in the Oval Office.
