The Kremlin says it sees “positive signals” from Donald Trump’s stance on Ukraine, though it also acknowledges the unpredictability of the US president-elect, according to Russian state media.
“The signals are positive. During his election Trump talked about how he perceives everything through deals,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says. “He doesn’t talk about the desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, and this distinguishes him from the current administration.”
However, Peskov also notes, like many others, that Trump is “less predictable”, particularly when it comes to sticking to the promises he made during the election campaign.
