Golden Finance reported that according to CNN, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised US President-elect Trump on Thursday as a "smart and experienced" politician who can find "solutions." Putin also accused Biden of creating "additional difficulties" for the incoming Trump administration by allowing Ukraine to launch US-made ATACMS long-range missiles at targets in Russia. When asked whether Biden's decision would affect future relations between Russia and the United States, Putin said that the situation may improve after Trump takes office in January next year. Putin also said Trump had overcome the "serious test" of returning to the White House, referring to two assassination attempts on Trump during the campaign. Putin said "absolutely uncivilized means of struggle were used against Trump" more than once, adding that he feared Trump was not safe at the moment. When talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Putin threatened to launch more new Russian medium-range ballistic missiles. He warned: "We will use the means at our disposal." "We do not rule out attacks on the Ukrainian army, military industrial facilities, or military facilities, including those in Kiev." Hazel missiles are being used at the decision-making center in Kyiv today as authorities in Kiev continue to attempt to attack our vital facilities."
