Any analysis of Donald Trump’s current thinking about Russia’s dangers to get out very quickly.
Read a lot in an individual tweet, or publishing or outside the president by the American president, and the danger is that your conclusions will contradict the tweet of tomorrow, the publisher, or outside the cuff.
Trust me. I was there.
Today’s edition was also developed from the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: “The American president blows hot and cold … He has changed his opinion on the main issues easily as the shoes change.”
Recently, when it comes to Russia, it seems that the White House was blowing more than the cold of Hot, which explains the title in today’s edition of Moskovsky Komsomolets: “The Russian American Cold.”
After the phone conversation Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on July 3 – the sixth this year – President Trump revealed that the two leaders “did not prohibit any progress” towards ending the war in Ukraine.
“I am not happy with that,” he added.
Four days later, the president Trump threatened to impose a 10 percent tariff on any country in line with the BrexesThe group of nations that include Russia.
On Tuesday, he was immersed in his frustration with some of his most powerful language so far: “We got a lot of nonsense that Putin gave, if you want to know the truth.”
“It’s so nice all the time, but it turns out it is meaningless.”
Today I asked the Kremlin’s reaction.
“We are very calm about this,” Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov told me at the Carmelin Conference of Journalists.
“Trump’s way of talking is cruel in general … We are planning to continue our dialogue with Washington to fix our broken bilateral relations … We hope that Trump and his team will continue their efforts to restore the peace process to the world of diplomacy.”
At least, the Kremlin was trying to diplomat.
Russian press? It was not even an attempt.
At Komsomolskaya Pravda, political critics accused Donald Trump of “the absence of geopolitical achievements.”
The Tablucid Moskovsky Komsomolitz wrote about “President Trump’s mood, a tendency to sudden mood and chaotic changes in the direction.”
This week’s release was made out of the arguments and facts Donald Trump The new American Elon Musk party.
The newspaper wrote: “Now every time the American President says,” Make America great again, “will unintentionally promoting the musk party.”
This is the sea change from the previous positive coverage in Russia to the Trump administration. In March, I told a political world iZvestia that “America now has more common denominators with Russia than Washington with Brussels or Kiev.”
In May, Kommersant Daily Daily announced: “Donald Trump’s position could not be more useful for Moscow,” Kommersant Daily Daily announced.
“Refusal to enhance sanctions against Russia and confirmed its determination to develop a large -scale trade with Russia.”
Optimism was understood. Earlier this year, The White House was publicly criticizing President Zelinski (And not President Putin) and the pressure practiced on Kyiv (not Moscow).
The United States and Russia launched bilateral talks to strengthen their relations.
What’s more, President Trump Steve Wittouf was a frequent visitor to Russia for talks with President Putin. In one of their meetings, the Kremlin leader gave him a gift to restore Trump: a picture of the American president.
It seemed as if Moscow and Washington were able to formulate a new relationship.
But it was more than two months ago Witkeov’s last visit. In June, Russia announced that the United States canceled the next round of talks between the two countries aimed at restoring diplomatic missions.
Meanwhile, President Trump appears to be increasingly frustrated by Russia’s refusal to agree to a comprehensive ceasefire in Ukraine.
“The Kremlin believes that Trump provides Russia very few, and therefore, the continuation of the” good fight “is better than” bad peace “from the point of view of national interests in the long term of Russia.
In other words, in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin wants more than Trump is ready to present it.
More than that in terms of land, more than concessions from Kiev about the future size of the Ukraine army, more than reducing western weapons supplies to Kiev.
To borrow Trumpian, Vladimir Putin clearly believes that he “holds cards” at the present time and can withstand a better deal.
Is it right? Or is Moscow uttering?
Many depend on what President Trump is doing after that: on the scale of US military aid in the future of Ukraine, and whether the White House decides to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
But consider my warning.
This living image, in Komsomolskia Bravda, from Donald Trump changes his shoes.
Just one week ago, Russian commentators were celebrating the US government’s decision to freeze some military assistance to Ukraine.
Therefore, follow closely. Not only what Donald Trump says to Russia and Ukraine, but the action he takes.
