Congratulations from Putin
Let us recall that Vladimir Putin traditionally addresses congratulations to the leaders of friendly countries. However, starting in 2022, he does not congratulate US leader Joe Biden or the heads of European states.
Over the past two years, only Viktor Orban and Aleksandar Vucic, the Prime Minister of Hungary and the President of Serbia, have received congratulations from the head of the Kremlin.
At the same time, the president separately sends congratulations to residents of unfriendly countries.
