Russian President Vladimir Putin has written President-elect Donald Trump a letter with 'Christmas and New Year greetings' that also calls for strong bilateral cooperation in global affairs.

Trump's transition sent out the letter, quoting Trump as calling it a 'very nice letter from Vladimir Putin' – on a day when he and Putin were engaging in long-distance rhetoric about a potential nuclear arms race.

'His thoughts are so correct. I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path,' Trump said in a statement.

Putin's letter offers warm personal greetings, as well as a call for acting together in a 'constructive and pragmatic manner.'

Trump called throughout his campaign for better relations with Russia, and he must decide within months of taking office whether to extend economic sanctions imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.



'Dear Mr. Trump, Please accept my warmest Christmas and New Year greetings,' Putin begins, in a letter dated December 15, a document that refers to the president-elect as 'His Excellency.'

'Serious global and regional challenges, which our countries have to face in recent years, show that the relations between Russia and the U.S. remain an important factor in ensuring stability and security of the modern world,' Putin continued.

'I hope that after you assume the position of the President of the United States of America we will be able – by acting in a constructive and pragmatic manner - to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a qualitatively new level.'

'Please accept my sincere wishes to you and your family of sound health, happiness, wellbeing, success and all the best,' Putin concludes.

Among other things, Trump has called for joint U.S.-Russian efforts against ISIS. Russia has been aiding Syria's President Bashar Assad's military, which has overrun rebel forces in Aleppo in recent weeks.

Trump and Putin team up to dismiss 'sore loser' Hillary's hacking claims: Donald backs Russian defense that the Dems invented conspiracy because they are 'unable to lose with dignity'

Trump tweeted out his support of Putin's comments, saying they were: 'so true'

Putin had earlier told Russian reporters the Democrats were being sore losers

'They need to learn to lose with dignity. In my opinion it is humiliating,' he said

Putin also distanced himself and his government from the hacking claims, saying the attacks could have been carried out by 'someone lying on the couch' (very true)

The dismissal was similar to Trump's previous comments about the cyber attack

Donald Trump has heaped praise on Vladimir Putin, just hours after the Russian leader said Democrats needed to accept the Republican's election victory.

The president-elect tweeted out his message shortly after 7pm on Friday night.

'Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: "In my opinion, it is humiliating. One must be able to lose with dignity." So true!'

It comes after Putin told Russian reporters the democrats were behaving like sore losers.

I firmly believe that Putin and Trump will work extremely well together

Now he just needs a love letter from Bachar Al Assad to complete his collection.

I much prefer Trump to that lying, trouble making Muslim puppet Obama, who bought in the Patriot Act allowing US armed forces to take action on the American Homeland and removed many legal rights and liberties from the American population

Hope you and your zoo all have a

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
