| Putin Speaks to Surkov |
Comments come as former Nato chief says President-elect Trump must show 'strength' in dealing with the Kremlin or the alliance is 'doomed'.
One of Vladimir Putin’s closest advisors has claimed Donald Trump’s victory has averted a third world war.
Speaking after Mr Trump won a shock victory over Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, Kremlin advisor Sergei Glazyev said the Democrat politician was a “symbol of war” and under Mr Trump the US had “a chance to change course”.
He told Russian news wire RNS: “Americans had two choices: World War Three or multilateral peace.
“Clinton was a symbol of war, and Trump has a chance to change this course”.
Donald Trump's foreign policy 'almost the same as Putin.'
It's not Donald Trump who matters now in the Middle East – it's Putin
Vladimir Putin congratulates US President Donald Trump
Relations between the two countries have sunk to their lowest point since the Cold War after Russia was accused of interfering in the election with the strategic leak of emails which were damaging to Ms Clinton and the Democrat party.
In October, the Department of Homeland Security officially blamed Russia for the leaking of emails exchanged by members of the Democrat National Committee (DNC) where they conspired to undermine the campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders. Russian officials have repeatedly denied allegations of interference.
On Thursday, Russia’s deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said the Kremlin had been in frequent contact with Mr Trump’s campaign team ahead of his victory.
He told Russian news agency Interfax that Moscow had “contacts” within Mr Trump’s inner circle.
