The Kremlin considers Trump “more negotiable” for Russia than other American politicians.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev and other representatives of the Russian elite congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election through personal contacts. Russian media reported this on Wednesday, November 6.
They also include German Gref (chairman of the board of Sberbank), Valentina Matvienko (speaker of the Federation Council) and Vyacheslav Volodin (chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation). According to the source, these greetings emphasize the Kremlin’s hope for improving Moscow’s position in the context of the war against Ukraine, especially because of the possible reduction in American support for Ukraine.
A source from the Russian parliament says Trump is considered “more negotiable” for Russia than other American politicians.
At the same time, the Kremlin is skeptical about Trump’s idea to end the war “within 24 hours,” suggesting that it only means a sharp cessation of aid to Ukraine.
While some representatives of the Russian media, such as TV propagandist Yevgeny Popov, expressed fear that Trump might offer Russia a deal with Ukraine that would not meet Moscow’s interests. If Moscow refuses, Popov suggests that Trump may take steps to increase aid to Ukraine.
Representatives of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Dmitry Novikov and Andrey Isaev also stated on Russian television channels that they have no illusions about the US policy, because in the first term of Trump Russia is subject to sanctions and other restrictions.
Remember that Donald Trump won the US presidential election. According to leading Western agencies, he received the required number of votes
Trump then said his goal was to “stop all wars in the world.”
