According to a spokesman, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not congratulate U.S. President-elect Joe Biden until the election results are official and confirmed.
The spokesman said, “Anticipating your possible question about Putin congratulating the U.S. president-elect, I want to say the following: we consider it correct to wait for the official summing up of the results of the elections.”
Recently, the leader of Russia’s Central Election Committee Ella Pamfilova commented on mail-in ballots and insisted that this method of voting would encourage cheating and falsifications.
Her statements resonated with those of President Donald Trump who refused to accept the election results.
