Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Sunday that US President Donald Trump will swiftly "restore order" due to his character and determination.

"I assure you: Trump, with his character and perseverance," will put things in order "quite quickly," Putin said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin, claiming that European elites would adapt to Trump's leadership.

He suggested European leaders, who had closer ties with the previous US administration, would ultimately align with Trump's policies. Putin's remarks come amid shifting geopolitical dynamics as Trump begins his new term.
