Vladimir Putin does not plan to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory, according to the Kremlin
At a daily press conference, Dmitri Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said he was not aware that the president Vladimir Putin had a plan to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the United States presidential elections.

Peskov took the opportunity to say that the Next US administration has time to change its dialogue with Russia.
He highlighted the position of Vladimir Putin to keep open to “constructive dialogue” that is based on justice, equality and mutual respect “for the concerns of the other.”
He added that Vladimir Putin remains committed to this position, which he has reiterated on multiple occasions, but that “today the American administration maintains a contrary position,” so they hope this will change.
Volodímir Zelenski confirmed in his speech to the nation last night “the first battles” of Ukrainian troops against North Korean soldiers who have joined the Russian Army fighting against Ukraine.
“The first combats with North Korean soldiers open a new page of instability in the world,” said Zelensky in his speech, in which he once again asked the international community to “do everything possible to prevent this Russian step to expand the war fails.”
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umérov, had previously reported the first situations of contact on the front between North Korean and Ukrainian soldiers.
The Ukrainian leader thanked all the countries that “have reacted to the deployment of North Korean soldiers in Russia” and especially mentioned those who have done so “not only with words, but by preparing appropriate actions” to help Ukraine defend itself.
He G7 -which brings together the seven most industrialized democracies in the world- and New Zealand and Australia announced on Tuesday that they are preparing a coordinated response to the entry of North Korean personnel into the Russian-Ukrainian war.
“Now, our countermeasures must be sufficient. Strong enough,” Zelensky added.
According to Ukraine and some of his allies, North Korea has already deployed more than 10,000 soldiers to Russia. Some of them have already joined the Russian troops fighting the Ukrainian Army in the Russian region of Kursk, bordering Ukraine and partially occupied by kyiv forces since August.
Moscow responds to UN over North Korean soldiers in Russia
The concern of the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterresover media reports on the alleged presence of soldiers from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in Russia is understood as a “manifestation of double standards“, declared the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on Tuesday.
“Such expressions of concern about the escalation and internationalization of the Ukrainian crisis ten years after its beginning are surprising to say the least. They should have worried much earlier, when Washington, with the help of the EU, orchestrated the unconstitutional coup in kyiv in February 2014. At that time, it was Western interference that created the crisis in Ukraine, and now they hypocritically claim that It is necessary to put an end to it”
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry
Zajárova denounced that after February 2022, “The West finally dropped its masks.” “The pumping of weapons into Ukraine became unprecedented. Mercenaries y foreign advisorsincluding senior NATO officerswithout which it is impossible to use high-tech weapons, have flowed into the country,” he noted.
“kyiv is being provided intelligence information and assistance in targeting and planning operations, including strikes against civilian targets on Russian territory.”
“In this context, Guterres’ concern over media reporting on DPRK military personnel in Russia is perceived as a manifestation of double standards. While declaring its support for efforts to establish peace and at the same time referring to the Charter of the United Nations, it forgets the inadmissibility of a selective approach to its objectives and principles, which must be observed in their entirety, totality and interrelation.
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry
The diplomat recalled all the violations committed by kyivlike the non-compliance with the Minsk agreements and alluded to the people’s right to self-determination that the inhabitants of Crimea and Donbas have exercised.
“We urge Guterres and UN leaders to be objective and impartial in their work, to avoid double standards, to read the UN Charter in its entirety, totality and interconnectedness, and to follow Article 100, which requires that “The United Nations must not succumb to external influences and must preserve the international character of its function.”
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry
In October, North Korea denies media reports and the statements of the South Korean Government indicating that Pyongyang would be sending troops to support the Russian military operationcalling them “unfounded rumors.”
Volodymyr Zelensky congratulates Donald Trump on his “impressive electoral victory”
The Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenski, congratulated this Wednesday to the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, Donald Trumpfor his “impressive victory” electoraland expressed his hope i can work with him to achieve a just peace in Ukraine.

“I hope we can put it into action together,” added the Ukrainian leader in a message posted on the X social network.
The Ukrainian leader remembered “the great conversation” that he had with Trump in New York in Septemberwhen the two spoke for the first time in person since the beginning of the Russian war about bilateral relations, the so-called Zelenskiy’s Victory Plan and possible ways to end the war.

“We count on the continuity of support from both parties (the Republican and the Democrat) for Ukraine”

The Ukrainian president also said that his administration will seek to “develop political and economic cooperation that benefits” both the United States and Ukraine.
“As one of Europe’s great military powers, Ukraine is committed to ensuring lasting peace and security in Europe and the transatlantic community with the support” of its allies, Zelensky wrote.
I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against…
E that we can engage in meaningful dialogue to strengthen our cooperation. The potential for collaboration in achieving stability and peace is paramount for both our nations,” Zelensky added, expressing optimism for future interactions with Trump.
Additionally, Zelensky’s acknowledgment of Trump’s previous statements about prioritizing a strong military response while pursuing diplomatic efforts reflects a desire for pragmatic approaches to resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
As the geopolitical landscape evolves, the interactions between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia will continue to be closely monitored, especially in light of the involvement of North Korean forces on the battlefield, which has the potential to escalate tensions further. Zelensky’s outreach to Trump signals a proactive approach towards fostering alliances that could support Ukraine’s defense initiatives and broader regional security.
Zelensky concluded his address with a reiteration of the necessity for a united front against aggression, underscoring the importance of international solidarity as Ukraine navigates the complexities of its military and diplomatic challenges.
the recent statements from both Peskov and Zelensky illustrate the contrasting positions taken by Russia and Ukraine, setting the stage for an intricate geopolitical dialogue shaped by the evolving dynamics of international relations and security interests.
