莫斯科——弗拉基米尔·普京总统表示，俄罗斯愿意与任何被正式宣布为美国下一任总统的人合作，但在获胜者正式确定或候选人承认之前，他不会表示祝贺。

俄罗斯国家电视台周日播放了普京的讲话，重申了克里姆林宫此前的评论，即为什么普京没有表示祝贺乔·拜登在主要新闻机构称他为当选总统之后，许多其他世界领导人也这样称呼他。

“我们只是在等待内部政治对抗的结束，”普京说，他指的是共和党对票数的挑战。

“我们将与任何得到美国人民信任的人合作。但是谁会得到这种信任呢？当一方承认另一方的胜利时，它必须由政治习惯来表示，或者由选举的最终结果来表示选举他说:“我们是以合法的方式总结的。

Putin holding off on US presidential congratulations

MOSCOW -- President Vladimir Putin says Russia is willing to work with whomever is officially declared the next president of the United States, but that he won't offer congratulations until the winner is formally decided or a candidate concedes.

Putin’s remarks broadcast Sunday on state television reiterate earlier Kremlin comments on why Putin had not congratulated Joe Biden after major news organizations called him president-elect, as did many other world leaders.

“We are just waiting for the end of the internal political confrontation,” Putin said, referring to Republican challenges to the vote count.

”We will work with any person who will be given the trust of the American people. But who will be given this trust? It must either be indicated by political custom when one of the parties recognizes the victory of the other, or the final results of the elections are summed up in a legitimate, legal way,” he said.
