A spokesman for the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that Putin intends to congratulate Zelensky on resolving the conflict in Donbas when it happens, but not on taking office.

“President Putin will congratulate President Zelensky on his first successes in resolving the conflict in south-eastern Ukraine, as well as on his first successes in normalizing Russian-Ukrainian relations,” said Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov in an interview with journalists.

To the clarifying question, when this could happen, he answered the following: “I should not reveal it. The first successes will be obvious, if they are, we will see them with the naked eye. ”

Earlier, the Kremlin has more than once refused to congratulate Zelensky on his election victory after the official announcement of the voting results.

Congratulations from other world leaders

USA

The head of the US Department of Energy, Rick Perry, called Zelensky’s speech “impressive.”

“President Zelensky’s speech was impressive and powerful,” the minister is quoted as saying RBC-Ukraine.

“We have a small but very significant group of people who came from the United States for this event. Already said. If we had had a few days' supply to prepare, our delegation would have been five times larger. After all, the people of the United States stand next to the people of Ukraine. President Zelensky’s speech was impressive and powerful,” said Mr. Perry.

He added that the United States will continue to support the people of Ukraine “in defending independence and striving for freedom.”

“One of the most striking illustrations of freedom is economic freedom,” the minister noted.

Germany

“He takes office under a democratic mandate,” she said.
