“If the new administration is going to look for peace, not for the continuation of the war, it will be better in comparison with the previous one,” Peskov said.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris had said that Putin would eat Trump for lunch, in an effort at warning the American public about her rival’s diplomacy skills.
Peskov was asked about her jibe, but responded with a quip: “Putin does not eat people.”
