"The American political establishment, regardless of party affiliation, sees Russia as an enemy and an existential threat. Considering the existing inter-party consensus on this issue, it would be naive to hope for an improvement in relations if the candidate from the Republican Party wins,” said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“By and large, we don’t care who wins the race for the presidency chair in the USA,» he added.
