The speaker was not willing to predict Donald Trump’s effect on the relationship due to Trump’s “somewhat inconsistent and vague” stance on the matter. “That’s what I said!”
The U.S. does not formally recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea and supports tough global economic sanctions against Moscow.
That view runs counter to the Obama administration, which imposed economic sanctions against Russian Federation for annexing the territory in Ukraine two years ago.
Hillary to Wallace: (On Trump’s support of Putin) “And we know that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin, whether it’s saying that North Atlantic Treaty Organisation wouldn’t come to the rescue of allies if they were invaded, talking about removing sanctions from Russian officials after they were imposed by the United States and Europe together, because of Russia’s aggressiveness in Crimea and Ukraine, his praise for Putin which is I think quite remarkable”.
In a series of missteps over the weekend, Donald Trump failed to quell concerns that he would push a decidedly pro-Russian policy platform if elected president.
Putin was outraged by USA support for Ukraine and by US military intervention around the world, particularly in Libya, on Clinton’s watch. But it was what he saw as interference in Russian Federation that really rankled.

The Democratic Convention, which ended Friday morning Moscow time, was given wide coverage throughout the day on the almost hourly news reports on state television, the Kremlin’s most powerful tool for shaping public opinion. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, her Democratic challenger, and his disappointed supporters.
The Kremlin said on Monday that US allegations Moscow was behind the hacking of Democratic Party emails were part of a cover-up created to hide the fact that the USA election campaign had been manipulated by domestic forces. The Rossiya channel also showed anti-Clinton protesters outside the convention hall who it said “felt they have been betrayed after the email leak that showed Bernie Sanders was pushed out of the race”.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied involvement in the hacking incident and said it does not favour any candidate in the November 8 usa election. Yanukovych was ultimately removed from power in 2014, before Putin’s annexation of Crimea, and has since found sanctuary in Russian Federation.

“I would welcome the Kremlin helping those forces in the United States that stand for peace with Russian Federation and democracy in America”, Israel Shamir wrote in Komsomolskaya Pravda. “And we know that he arranged for a lot of those emails to be released”. “I said, I’m going to disavow that?”
