Former president Dmitry Medvedev responded on Telegram to the initial results of the U.S. presidential election.

Summary

Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”

Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.

    It seems like you might have a problem with it since you’re insisting that she lost because she’s a woman.

    Your graph seems to indicate that education level has more to do with voting preferences than gender.

    Edit: and this seems to contradict your theory that this is all about gender biases and not something else like abandoning the party base

      I don’t know how much insisting I’m doing. There are lots of reasons. I feel like that’s putting words in my mouth.
