Trump’s latest victory: Putin congratulates ‘brave man’ Trump – after warning that fight for new world order is in full swing

We can now give you full quotes from Vladimir Putin’s reaction to the election of Donald Trump.

Working with Trump

Speaking in Sochi, Putin said: “I have already said that we will work with any head of state who will be trusted by the people of the United States. This is truly what we will do.”

He continued: “I don’t think there’s any shame in calling him myself. I just don’t because Western leaders at one stage were calling me almost every week until they suddenly stopped.”

The Russian leader continued: “If any of them wants to resume contacts, I have always said, I repeat again: we have nothing against it, you are welcome, we will resume contacts and have a discussion.”

When asked if he was ready for negotiations with Trump, Putin replied: “Ready. Ready”.

Attempted murder

Putin said Trump’s actions during the July killing “impressed me.”

“He turned out to be a courageous man. It’s not just that he raised his hand and called for continuing the fight for common ideals, it’s not just that,” he said.

“A man reveals his true essence in extraordinary conditions, and it was here that he showed himself… courageously, like a man.”

Ukraine

“What he said about his desire to restore relations with Russia and help end the Ukrainian crisis, I think, deserves attention.”

Trump’s first term

“I got the impression that he was being bullied from all sides and was not allowed to move.

“He was afraid to take a step left or right or say an extra word. I don’t know what will happen now. I have no idea.”
