Russian officials delighted publicly at Trump’s attacks on Zelenskyy, relishing America’s about-turn in what had previously been a close relationship with Kyiv as Ukraine attempts to fend off Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s yearslong full-scale invasion.
Trump began his attack on Tuesday, falsely asserting that Ukraine had started the war with Russia and falsely describing Zelenskyy as having a 4-percent approval rating. He then escalated on Wednesday, just a day after his negotiating team sat down with senior Russian officials in Saudi Arabia to discuss ending the war and begin cooperation on a range of topics.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council and the country’s former president, endorsed Trump’s anti-Ukraine tirade: “If you’d told me just three months ago that these were the words of the U.S. president, I would have laughed out loud. @realDonaldTrump is 200 percent right. Bankrupt clown … ”
Lavrov also said that Moscow and Washington must “clear out” Biden’s legacy, which the foreign minister said had eroded the “long-term partnership” between Russia and the U.S.
The growing rhetorical bond between the Kremlin and the White House indicates that the two are already on their way to achieving that goal.
The evident glee of Russian leaders at Trump’s new approach to the war highlights America’s increasing alignment with the Kremlin.

I *hate* that trump motherfucker so goddamn much I can’t stand it.
If Trump genuinely thinks he is a tough guy and only back tough macho guys Russia is the safest fucking excuse of a tough guy. Putin and his cronies are wimps that have nothing to offer to the world.
