An announcement from Kremlin on Tuesday says Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden for his US presidential election victory. The announcement comes in the aftermath of the state-by-state counting in the Electoral College vote which decides the winner in US presidential elections.

,Leaders across the world were wishing the President elect after he crossed the margin, but the Kremlin had said earlier that it would wait for the officials results to be announced before congratulating anybody, breaking from global tradition. However, a few days after the election (November 3), it became clear that Biden had won the presidency. "For my part, I am ready for interaction and contact with you," Putin was mentioned as saying by the Kremlin in a statement. "Putin wished the president-elect every success and expressed confidence that Russia and the United States, which have a special responsibility for global security and stability, could, despite their differences, really help to solve the many problems and challenges facing the world," the Kremlin said.

Biden said that the Republican and his allies attempted to constitution and the “will of the people” by not accepting the results, Biden criticise the President Trump post Electoral College meet. "It's a position so extreme we've never seen it before. A position that refused to respect the will of the people refused to respect the rule of law, and refused to honour our constitution," Biden said in a speech after emerging victorious in the Electoral College.
