Looks as if Putin is expecting a hard negotiation, or, potentially offensive weapons in Ukraines hands if Russia doesn't want peace?
He is already in defense mode, can't be bad for those who want a fair deal for Ukraine, right? They don't like the control GOP have in the House and Senate.

A spokesman for the Kremlin said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no plans to congratulate U.S. President-elect Trump on his victory.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters at a briefing that U.S.-Russo relations were at "their lowest point in history" and that he could not say anything about Putin's reaction.
“It is practically impossible to make relations between the United States and Russia any worse as they are already at their lowest point in history,” Peskov said, per Russian state media.
In a statement, Russia's Foreign Ministry said Trump's win "obviously reflect Americans’ disappointment in the performance of the Biden administration and the election programme of the Democratic Party formulated by Vice-President Kamala Harris, who was hastily chosen to replace the incumbent President in the race."
The foreign ministry's statement accused Democrats of a "propaganda campaign" against Trump and said the Republican president-elect highlighted issues of concern to Americans "as a counterbalance to the White House's globalist course." It also suggested that Trump's win could "fuel internal tensions and bitterness" between progressives and conservatives.
But the ministry did not welcome Trump's win either.
"We have no illusions regarding the President-elect, who is well known in Russia, or the new Congress, where Republicans have reportedly won control. The US ruling political elite adheres to anti-Russia principles and the policy of 'containing Moscow.' This line does not depend on changes in America’s domestic political barometer, no matter if it is Trump and his supporters’ 'America above all' or the Democrats’ focus on a 'rules-based world order.'"
