Russian leader Vladimir Putin has claimed that the newly elected US president, Donald Trump, will soon "restore order" in relations with European elites, whom he predicts will "stand by his side and wag their tails obediently".

Details: Putin believes there is currently "some fuss" between Trump and European political elites. He said that since the administration of former president Joe Biden, "nothing has changed", alleging that European politicians "used to happily follow any orders from Washington".

Putin accused European politicians of "fighting" against Trump and interfering in US domestic politics. He suggested that they were disoriented by Trump's victory, as Biden was "mentally more comfortable for them" due to his differing views on what is right and wrong.

Quote:"But I assure you: Trump, with his character and determination, will restore order there quickly. And all of them – mark my words, this will happen soon – will stand obediently and wag their tails at their master. Everything will fall into place."
