Russian president Vladimir
Putin has made his first official statement on Trump's win.
Via spokesman Dmitry
Peskov, he said: "Trump's first statements give us hope that steps towards
improving relations between the USA and Russia are possible."
"The US election result
does not mean that all contentious issues in relations between Moscow and Washington
will be resolved. The main thing is the intention to resolve them through
dialogue."
Russia was widely thought to
have been supporting Trump during the election campaign. US officials say they
believe state-sponsored Russian hackers were behind a leak of emails from the
Democratic National Committee which damaged Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Trump praised Putin, during the
campaign, saying he was glad to have been praised by the Russian leader.
