A U.S. president who is “more constructive” on Russia and realizes the “importance of dialogue” would be President Vladimir Putin’s preference, a Kremlin spokesperson told NBC.
Putin would work with “anyone who will understand that from now on, you have to be more careful with Russia and you have to take into account its concerns,” Dmitry Peskov said when asked if the Kremlin would be content working with Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Peskov also suggested that the financial support given to Ukraine by the U.S. was ineffective, likening it to throwing money “into the wind” and that the U.S. and the West were prolonging the conflict.
