Russian President Vladimir Putin has become one of few world leaders to congratulate Donald Trump.
In a telegram to the president-elect he said he hopes to work with Mr Trump on international issues, and said he believed a "constructive dialogue" between the US and Russia will serve the interests of both countries.
"Putin expressed hope for joint work to restore Russian-American relations from their state of crisis, and also to address pressing international issues and search for effective responses to challenges concerning global security," the Kremlin said in a statement.
Mr Trump's perceived closeness with Russia was, of course, a big source ofpolitical controversy throughout his campaign.
