MOSCOW, November 6. /TASS/. The outcome of the US election holds little significance for Russia, a senior Russian lawmaker said.

"I don’t think that the results of the election in the United States can have any dramatic or fundamental significance for us," said Valentina Matviyenko, speaker of Russia’s Federation Council, or upper house of parliament.

She called for focusing on Russia’s domestic affairs instead of placing too much emphasis on the US election. "We have national development priorities clearly set by the president. We have clear, comprehensible tasks and objectives for the special military operation. We understand that Russia’s development is in our hands, and that economic policy and technological leadership depend on us. We have a lot to work on, and we will do so," she stated.
