Putin's comments on Trump and possible talks
SOCHI, Russia, Nov 7 (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin on Thursday congratulated Donald Trump on winning the U.S. presidential election, praised him for showing bravery when a gunman tried to assassinate him, and said Moscow was ready to talk to the Republican president-elect.
Following are Putin's remarks. He spoke in Russian. The translation into Englishis by Reuters.
"Firstly, his behavior at the time of the attempt on his life made an impression on me. He turned out to be a courageous man. And it's not just about the raised hand and the call to fight for his and their common ideals... He behaved, in my opinion, in a very correct way, courageously, like a man...
"I am speaking sincerely, absolutely. I have the impression that (in his first term) he was hounded from all sides. They wouldn't let him move. He was afraid to take a step to the left, to the right, to say an extra word. I do not know what is going to happen now. I have no clue. For him, this is hislast term. What he will do, these are questions for him...
"What was said (by Trump) about the desire to restore relations with Russia, to helpend the Ukrainian crisis - in my opinion, this deserves attention at least.
"And I take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as president of the United States of America. I have already said that we will work with any head of state who is trusted by the American people. This will indeed be the case in practice."
Asked what he would do if Trump called and suggested a meeting, Putin said:
"I don't think it's shameful to call him either. I just don't do it, because the leaders of Western states called me almost every week from some stage, and then suddenly stopped.
"Well, if they don't want to, they don't have to. As you can see, we are alive, healthy, it's fine, we aredeveloping, moving forward. If any of them want to resume contacts, I have always said and I want to say again: we have nothing against it. Please, let'sresume contacts and havediscussions.
Asked if that meant he was ready to have discussionswith Trump, Putin replied:
"We're ready, we're ready."
