The first statement from Russia after Trump's victory: They should remain silent on democracy.

U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a victory speech at the Republican election monitoring center in Florida. Declaring himself the 47th president of the United States, Trump also addressed the Russia-Ukraine war in his speech.

FIRST COMMENT FROM RUSSIA ON TRUMP'S VICTORY

In response to Trump's speech, the comment came from Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry. Zakharova stated that the U.S. needs to solve its own problems, saying, "After all this, not only the Washington administration but the U.S. itself, along with all political scientists, civil activists, and democracy experts, should remain silent on the assessment of the quality of democracies and human rights issues until it solves its own problems."

Referring to Donald Trump's statements about ending many wars, including the one in Ukraine, the Russian spokesperson said, "Everyone should follow Donald Trump's promises with actions and concrete measures."

ATTACK ON MACRON

Recalling French President Emmanuel Macron's statements before the U.S. elections that Donald Trump would not win, Zakharova advised Macron to change his sources of information, saying, "I would like to remind you that the same Macron said a day earlier, 'According to the information I have been given, I do not think Donald Trump will become the U.S. President.' It seems that the same informants are also there for Ukraine, right Emmanuel? The French President should change his sources of information."
