Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated U.S. President-elect Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration in Washington. Putin expressed readiness to engage in discussions on resolving the Ukraine conflict and managing nuclear arms. "We welcome Trump's desire to restore direct contacts with Russia and prevent war," Putin told Russia's Security Council. He emphasized hopes for "lasting peace" in Ukraine under Trump’s leadership. Previously, Putin extended congratulations when Trump won the U.S. presidential election, marking a potential thaw in U.S.-Russia relations.
