Former president Dmitry Medvedev responded on Telegram to the initial results of the U.S. presidential election.

Summary

Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”

Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.

    Stop being in denial. It’s not like 100% of those who didn’t vote would’ve voted democrat. They didn’t care to vote, so they could’ve voted for either side cuz they clearly don’t have a strong preference.

    Trump won and won even the popular vote. And you are still crying “stolen election”.

      I will just start off by saying I’m not a US citizen.

      Second, I never cried out “stolen election” but you clearly sound like a MAGA supporter so I won’t waste too much of my time on you.

      All I said was people didn’t show up to vote. I cannot believe people don’t make the effort to go vote in your country.

      Good luck with your future. And I don’t want to sound sarcastic, I’m being honest. Good luck
