President Vladimir Putin commended the Trump administration for its perceived pragmatism in addressing U.S.-Russia relations. Speaking at a Federal Security Service meeting, he expressed optimism about initial communications with the new U.S. administration, indicating a mutual desire for improving ties and addressing various global challenges. Putin criticized former President Biden for fostering a crisis in international relations and underscored the importance of mending the long-strained U.S.-Russia relationship after years of tension following Russia's aggression in Ukraine, particularly the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the subsequent invasion in 2022.
Mr. Putin praised the new U.S. administration for pragmatism, a realistic worldview and discarding many stereotypes, so-called rules' and messianic, ideological cliches of their predecessors.
The first contacts with the new American administration give us some hope... There is a mutual willingness to work on restoring the relations and gradually tackle colossal systemic problems.
Putin’s comments extended a pattern of praise for the new American president as Russia looks to draw the United States into its camp and against Ukraine and Europe.
Following a decade of strife over Russia's aggression in Ukraine, tensions led to an all-out war in 2022, resulting in significant international hostility.
