After Trump’s fiery row with Zelenskyy, Russia heaps praise on US leader | Russia-Ukraine war News

The US -led ceasefire agreement in Ukraine does not seem imminent, but Washington’s relationship with Moscow is increasing warmth.
Russia and the United States focused on bilateral issues on its second tour of the talks last Thursday, after their opening session in Riyadh nine days ago.
Russia put forward the idea of resuming commercial flights, while the United States discussed the employment of the Moscow embassy. None of the two sides mentioned Ukraine in their official statements.
“There are no talks on the situation in Ukraine yet,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed on Wednesday.
“Some of the first drafts of these potential peace plans appear,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Russia puts the war of words with European leaders
Since the White House disaster Where US President Trump and Vice President JD VANCE led the screaming match against Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski, Russia tried to lead a wedge between the Trump and Europe administration, with the continent’s rush to support Ukraine and Washington.
Zakharova described French President Emmanuel Macron as “separate from reality” at a press conference when he was offered to share the nuclear deterrent in France. She referred to European -Ukraine allies in the name of the “War Party”.
Zelinski described “dressing” at the White House as a result of the “extreme moral deterioration” of the “free leader of the Nazi regime”.
Alexander Pestekin, Chairman of the Investigation Committee of Russia, blamed the Europeans on Sunday instead of the United States for military aid to Ukraine.
He said: “The most fatal weapons are provided by the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Germany, Romania, Estonia and a number of other countries.”
Although her army claimed Privolnoye village in Donetsk on Wednesday, Peskov told reporters, “Kyiv and Zelensky do not want peace. They want the war to continue.”
But Trump was a return to reason.
“We all understood that it was Donald Trump who cut ties, but Joe Biden,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told his interview on Sunday.
He said about the United Kingdom and France: “They claim that they are training thousands of peacekeeping forces and providing them with air support, which is a bold position.” “First of all, no one is consulting with us. President Donald Trump fully understands the situation.”
Tell Peskov one of the interview on the Rossiya-1 news network, “New [US] The administration changes all foreign policy formations quickly. This largely coincides with our vision. “
Trump echoed the Russian arguments, and Zelinski told that Ukraine does not help in a ceasefire but the prolongation of the war.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian delegations are working with European allies to increase military aid, after another violation of the Ukrainian -Ukrainian relations on Friday to military and intelligence.
He said that we are Senson, the Ukrainian member of Parliament, “The events of last week have produced an influence here in Oslo and in other countries.”
It was in the Norwegian capital as part of a delegation negotiating an increase in military aid.
She said, “Norway is now considering increasing its support,” she said.
Poland announced a new package of $ 200 million in military aid on Thursday.
Senson said: “Hearing Trump says that the Ukrainians do not want peace to be unfair.” “There is nothing I want more than [my partner] To return home. But I also do not want my son to go and fight within five years. “
Trump administration “clearly with Russia”
“There is no longer any pretext that the administration is clearly heading to Russia,” said retired American general Ben Hodges, who led the American forces in Europe from 2014 to 2018.
“This is a major strategic error for the United States because our European allies will meet, and they will help Ukraine either win or at least get a much better position, and Europe will do this without us and despite us, and we will lose a great impact and great credibility,” Hodges said.
The Institute of War Study, a Washington -based research center, said that American credibility was likely to suffer in the Middle East and the Pacific.
“The Russian -led bloc will see that the United States is abandoning Ukraine as an indication that the United States will abandon its other allies and will seek to test the borders of the United States’ commitment around the world,” said ISW, in reference to Iran and North Korea.
During their fiery exchange, Trump and Fase reprimanded Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinski on Friday for being “disrespectful”.
“I enabled you to be a strong young man. Trump said:” I don’t think you will be a difficult young man without the United States … You do not act at all grateful and this is not a nice thing. “
Criticism of a partisan bite.
“I went to the state of Pennsylvania in October and carried the opposition,”

Trump described his predecessor as a “stupid president” to give Ukraine “$ 350 billion” – a number of nearly three times what Zelinski, Bidin and the European Union provided.
Two days later, UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer Zellinsky called for meeting European leaders in London.
“This preparation will now intensify planning with real urge,” Starmer said after the summit. “The UK is ready to support this with shoes on the ground and aircraft in the air, with others.”
France had already offered forces to Ukraine last year. Ireland and Luxembourg joined the growing alliance this week.
“The European Shoa Shoe” after an agreement that helped reassure Ukraine. But the discussion has now moved. Malcolm Chalmers, Deputy Director General of the Royal Institute of United Services, a research tank in London, said that what will calculate more than all is the extent of the United Kingdom and Europe’s willingness to help Ukraine in a challenge to the United States.
But even with the rise of Europe, Washington came out, with all American military services and intelligence participation on Tuesday at 2 pm Kiev (12:00 GMT) attached-an unprecedented step in a three-year war.
“Everything that was not literally on Ukrainian lands at a time when the freezing was announced was not delivered,” Senson said. This included Pentagon Aid actually agreed to Congress, but not the military supplies that Ukraine was buying from private sector contractors in the United States.
Europe is ready to assume “responsibilities”: von der Layen

From that, 650 billion euros ($ 704 billion) will come by relaxing borrowing limits for national governments, and about 150 billion euros (162 billion dollars) by borrowing by participating in the European Union. The European Union has not previously made joint military debts or purchases.
The initiative had been approved by the leaders of the bloc at a special summit on Thursday.

“Recent estimates indicate that only 20 percent of the total military bodies of the Ukrainian forces are now from the United States,” Chalmers said. “Fifty -five percent producers in Ukraine and 25 percent of Europe and the rest of the world, but 20 percent are the most deadly and important. Ukraine will not collapse – they have already suffered from cutting aid last year, but the effect will be cumulative.”
French President Emmanuel Macron went further in replacing US security guarantees in Europe. During a speech on Wednesday, the extension of France’s nuclear deterrent to the continent.
“I decided to start strategic discussions on defending the entire continent with our nuclear weapons. Macron said in a televised message:” The decision will depend on the heads and leaders of European countries. “
The United Kingdom and France are the only European nuclear forces.
Sovsun has admired the European response so far.
“At first, I was very pessimistic. But then the London summit and other decisions came.” “I really feel better than I was afraid. We have seen the level of seriousness they took.”
Zelenskyy was about to sign an agreement that gives the United States exclusive rights to extract the rare land in Ukraine when it was heterogeneously removed from the White House on Friday.
“What we need to hear from President Zelinski is that he regrets what happened, he is ready to sign this metal deal and that he is ready to participate in peace talks,” said Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security adviser.
On Tuesday, Zelenskyy presented a ceasefire plan, which involves a family exchange
Zellinski wrote on X. “Our meeting in Washington, in the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is unfortunate that this had happened in this way. It is time to make things right.”

Trump confirmed during a speech to Congress on Tuesday that he had received a letter from Zelinski, where the Ukrainian president is in it Express his willingness To enter peace negotiations.
One of the reasons for Zelinski’s dispute with Trump was about his efforts to link security guarantees in the rare land deal.
“We hope that we will not have to send a lot [military assistance] Because I am looking to accomplish this quickly, ”Trump told a correspondent during his White House conference with Zelinski.
When asked about this on an American -right network, Vans said, ” [Ukrainian] The president knows that, look, if you want real security guarantees, if you want to make sure of that [Russian president] Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the best security guarantee is to give Americans the economic trend in the future of Ukraine. This is a much better security guarantee than 20,000 soldiers from some random countries that have not fought a war in 30 or 40 years. “
He later made it clear that he did not talk about the United Kingdom or France.
