Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters at a briefing that U.S.-Russian relations were at “their lowest point in history” and that he could not say anything about Putin’s reaction.

In a statement, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Trump’s win “obviously reflect Americans’ disappointment in the performance of the Biden administration and the election programme of the Democratic Party formulated by Vice-President Kamala Harris, who was hastily chosen to replace the incumbent President in the race.”

The foreign ministry’s statement accused Democrats of a “propaganda campaign” against Trump and said the Republican president-elect highlighted issues of concern to Americans “as a counterbalance to the White House’s globalist course.” It also suggested that Trump’s win could “fuel internal tensions and bitterness” between progressives and conservatives.

But the Russian foreign ministry did not welcome Trump’s win either.

“We have no illusions regarding the President-elect, who is well known in Russia, or the new Congress, where Republicans have reportedly won control. The US ruling political elite adheres to anti-Russia principles and the policy of ‘containing Moscow.’ This line does not depend on changes in America’s domestic political barometer, no matter if it is Trump and his supporters’ ‘America above all’ or the Democrats’ focus on a ‘rules-based world order
