Russia reacts to Trump's victory; calls US 'unfriendly' country

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, "Let us not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country, which is both directly and indirectly involved in a war against our state" (in Ukraine)."

"We have repeatedly said that the US is able to contribute to the end of this conflict. This cannot be done overnight, but... the US is capable of changing the trajectory of its foreign policy. Will this happen, and if so, how ... we will see after (the US president's inauguration in) January," he added.

Peskov said he was not aware of any plans by President Vladimir Putin to congratulate Trump on his victory, according to a Reuters report.
