Since the conquest of Ukraine three years ago, Russia has spent a great deal of energy in the demonization of the United States and distorting its leadership, economy and culture – and what Washington’s “hegemony” in the global world order.
The United States -led international sanctions prompted more marriage to Moscow, with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other senior officials who collide Almost a large number of punitive restrictions on the main sectors of the Russian economy and its elitesWith the continuation of the war.
However, the arrival of a friendly administration during the era of President Donald Trump and the emerging talks with the United States to end the conflict in Ukraine-in addition to a return from the economic and geopolitical cold-demands a rotation in Moscow, with the Kremlin greatly softening the aggressive position it has occupied in recent years.
With the tensions of tensions between Trump and Ukraine President Volodimir Zellinski to an open intensity on Wednesday, as Trump Zellinski described as a “dictator”, Putin broke his silence on a rapprochement between Russia and the United States this week, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that, after that The first official talks by officials since early 2022.
“I am staying [the negotiations in Saudi Arabia] “There is a result,” Putin said.
“In general, as I was told, [the mood] It was very friendly. On the American side, there were completely different people who were open to the negotiation process without any bias, without any bias for what was done in the past. “
Putin also praised Trump to show “restraint” amid what he described as “hysteria” by European leaders who are angry at leaving negotiations on the future of Ukraine.
Mood music change
Moscow in Moscow seemed to change rapidly after Russia and the United States talks in Riyadh on Tuesday, which were-apparently-the basis for the upcoming peace talks on Ukraine, despite Kiev’s absence from discussions.
The Russian government media responded positively to the talks And changing the tide in relations between Russia and the United States, as did the senior officials in Moscow who are part of Putin’s internal circle.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov repeated these feelings, and commented on the “very constructive talks that took place, and stated on Wednesday that the two countries” began to move away from the brink of the abyss, as the Biden administration led our relationship. “
Lavrov said: “At the present time, it is necessary to clean the legacy of the Biden administration, which did everything to destroy … the basis of long -term partnership between our countries,” Lavrov said. And the United States, The Russian government news agency, TASS.
CNBC has requested more comments from the Kremlin on the change in the VIS-A-Vis Washington position and is waiting for a response.
There is no doubt that Joe Biden’s departure from the White House and Trump’s return prompted Moscow to alleviate its discourse towards the United States, which had warm relations during the period of the first president’s term in 2017 to 2021.
Even Russian President Vladimir Putin indicated his support for the definitions that Trump announced in his first weeks in his post, saying that The “European European Allies” will stand at the feet of the master “when they faced Trump’s commercial threats.
Russia will also benefit greatly from the end to the war that put its economy in full swing, as Moscow has increased its production of military bodies, and the conversion of workers away from other major industries and production, which contributes to the pressures of continuous inflation The high price of goods and foods that Russian citizens felt very high.

Economy to benefit
Moscow has repeatedly reduced the impact of Western sanctions on its main industries, especially its oil and gas sectors, and any success in export revenues, instead provides its ability to reduce sanctions by strengthening trade with other countries, such as China and India.
However, mitigating restrictions and reopening access to previous markets in the West as part of the peace agreement will undoubtedly be a blessing for Moscow, as economists say.
“The decision of the United States and Russia” setting the basis “to end the war in Ukraine is a possible turning point after three years of conflict.”
“The negotiations will take time and the total economic effects will depend on the features of any agreement [but] We believe that the peace agreement can lead to high Russian natural gas flows and low energy prices, but it is likely that any batch of the economy of Europe – outside Russia and Ukraine – is likely to be limited.
“The peace agreement is widely favorable to all parties that will have the benefits of macroeconomics: it can define the basis for modest capture in some Russian pipe gas flows to Europe [and] “Although perhaps only in certain areas, such as Russia’s arrival in the American financial system, he pointed out in e -mail,” although perhaps in certain areas, such as Russia’s arrival in the US financial system, said in the e -mail comments to relieve Western sanctions on Russia.

David Roche, strategic expert at Quantum Strategy, commented that authoritarian leaders such as Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping Kana ultimately the “winning” of the new United States towards the old allies and the warning towards Moscow. Also, Roche and other strategists have mocked that Russia will tend to abandon the economy directed towards the war now after it has become firm.
“The winners are a brutal Putin. They have proven how weak democracy and hardship,” Roche said in the comments via e -mail.
“The decline in the United States to isolation Maga creates a great opportunity for” the axis of tyranny ” [including Russia and China] “To replace the United States … in terms of aid, investment and political drawing,” Roche said in the comments via e -mail on Wednesday.
“Putin will use the ceasefire to reshape the Russian armed forces. Once the fighting stops the horrific Russian losses of men and machines, daily additions to the armed forces are. The Russian war machine produces the full equipment of the armed forces in Germany every 6 months. It is irony that there are signs of cracks Seismic in the Russian war machine.
Ukraine smokes
The United States has left Ukraine and its European allies smoking by the United States, and Russia re -link diplomatic relations and advance with talks without their inputs.
Zelinski had expressed his terror in Kiev, who was excluded from talks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but his frustration appeared completely on Wednesday when he said that Trump was affected by the Russian “amplification”.

It was when Trump returned, saying that Zelinski was “a dictator without elections” and had classifications to conjugate though this A poll was issued on Wednesday By the Kyiv International Sociology Institute shows that 57 % of Ukrainians trust their boss.
Ukraine has not held elections since the election of Zelinski in 2019, saying that it had been practical without voting during the war and when the martial law was in place.
