MOSCOW, Nov 6 : Russia has said it will interact with the new administration in the White House, “firmly upholding Russia’s national interests and working to achieve all the goals of the special military operation” in Ukraine.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry in a statement on the US Presidential elections said:
“The victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election and his return to the White House after a four-year break obviously reflect Americans’ disappointment in the performance of the Biden administration and the election programme of the Democratic Party formulated by Vice-President Kamala Harris, who was hastily chosen to replace the incumbent President in the race.\\
“Despite an overpowering propaganda campaign, which Democrats launched against Donald Trump based on the administrative resource and support from the liberal media, the Republican candidate, who relied on the experience of his previous presidency, highlighted issues that are of real interest to the electorate, namely, the economy and illegal migration, as a counterbalance to the White House’s globalist course.
“In these circumstances, the ruling group was unable to use the chronically ill American ‘democracy’. a system, which is outdated, archaic and incompatible with the modern standards of direct, fair and transparent elections, to prevent Kamala Harris’s defeat.
“At the same time, there is an obvious civil discord in the United States, whose electorate has split into almost equal halves.
“In fact, we are witnessing confrontation between Democratic and Republican states, and between the advocates of ‘progressive’ and traditional values. It is possible that Donald Trump’s return will fuel internal tensions and bitterness between the confronting camps.
“We have no illusions regarding the President-elect, who is well known in Russia, or the new Congress, where Republicans have reportedly won control. The US ruling political elite adheres to anti-Russia principles and the policy of “containing Moscow.” This line does not depend on changes in America’s domestic political barometer, no matter if it is Trump and his supporters’ “America above all” or the Democrats’ focus on a “rules-based world order.”
“Russia will interact with the new administration when it comes to the White House, firmly upholding Russia’s national interests and working to achieve all the goals of the special military operation.
“Our conditions have not changed, and Washington is well aware of them,” it said. (UNI)
