A spokesman for the Russian leader also noted that Russia respects the choice made by the citizens of Ukraine, writes TASS.

Peskov called it premature to talk about the congratulations of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Zelensky, as well as about their joint work.

“It is too early to talk about President Putin’s congratulations to Mr. Zelensky, as well as the opportunity to work together,” he noted.

“Because you need to judge by specific cases, by specific steps,” he explained.

“Moreover, let’s proceed from the fact that there are no official election results yet, which simply have not yet been summed up,” the Kremlin representative added.

Answering the question whether it can be said that the Russian President decided not to congratulate Zelensky until the publication of the final data of the Central Election Commission of Ukraine, Peskov said: “I have nothing to say to what I just told you, I have nothing to add and nothing to clarify.”

Speaking about the attitude to the voting results, he stressed that Russia respects the choice made by the citizens of Ukraine, although the legitimacy of this process has already raised questions.

“Moscow respects the choice of the Ukrainian people, especially since this choice is very obvious,” Peskov noted. “At the same time, the legitimacy of these elections as a whole was called into question when 3 million Ukrainian citizens living in the Russian Federation were not given the opportunity to vote.”

Vladimir Putin did not watch the debate between presidential candidates Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Zelensky, as he “dealt with the affairs of the Chita region,” said his press secretary, Dmitry Peskov. The head of the St. Petersburg Politics Foundation, Mikhail Vinogradov, noticed that the Chita Region was abolished in 2008, writes TV channel "Rain".

The debate between Zelensky and Poroshenko passed on April 19 at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev. According to Peskov, Putin was handed the record.

“And then I don’t know whether he managed to watch this record or not,” the spokesman added.

Previously, the Chita region was part of the Siberian Federal District. It was abolished by 1 March 2008, as a result of the unification of the Trans-Baikal Territory with the Aginsky Buryat Autonomous District.

“I sincerely congratulate you on your election to the post of President of Ukraine. Ukrainians entrusted you with this post at the most difficult moment in our country’s history,” the congratulations say.

To replace fear and despondency in people’s souls with hope and faith in the best, to bring to people something that unites and does not divide. I want to bow low to the wise Ukrainian people, who did not allow themselves to be deceived, did not succumb to provocations and lies, but made a conscious choice. Ukrainians have trusted you and hope that you will return peace and prosperity to our people. Don't let them down. I wish you good health, blessings from the Lord and success in your high and responsible post as President of Ukraine,” Yanukovych concluded.
