Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden.
According to the details, Joe Biden, who defeated Donald Trump in the presidential election this month, has received congratulations from the heads of many countries, but the Russian president has not yet congratulated him.
Many questions are being raised about the Russian president's delay in congratulating him.
When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Putin immediately congratulated him, but he has not yet congratulated Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Leaders of countries such as Japan, Saudi Arabia and India, which are considered close to Trump, have also congratulated Biden.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russia's presidential palace, said in a statement that the Russian president would congratulate Biden only after the official results of the US presidential election were announced.
Russia is awaiting a formal announcement of the election results, and President Putin will respect the American people's choice, according to the statement.
When Putin issued a congratulatory message shortly after Trump's victory in 2016, doubts were raised about Russia's influence in the US presidential election.
