Former US President Donald Trump repeatedly emphasizes that as head of state he can end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. However, he has not yet presented concrete plans for the current election campaign. Nevertheless, he has a major advocate in the Kremlin: Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also sharply criticizes the ‘political persecution’ of Trump by the US judiciary.
At the current economic forum in Vladivostok, where North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is also expected, Putin emphasized that the numerous trials against the Republican have shown how “rotten” the American political system is. Putin also welcomed Trump’s statements that he could “solve” the Ukraine crisis.
Putin is skeptical about whether US policy would change under Trump
At the same time, the Kremlin chief refuted expectations that US policy toward Russia would change if Trump made a political comeback. “It is unlikely that there will be significant changes regardless of who the next US president will be,” the 70-year-old stressed. The US would see Russia as “a permanent enemy”. Putin also praised Tesla boss and X owner Elon Musk. This is a “noble man”.
In the past, Trump has repeatedly criticized his successor Joe Biden’s course in the Ukraine crisis, claiming that if he were president, tensions with Russia would never have escalated to the extent they did: No one has ever been tougher on Russia, and he and Putin each other would have respected. However, critics had accused Trump of treating the Kremlin chief with kid gloves during his time in office. According to US investigators, the Russian government interfered “in a comprehensive and systematic manner” in the 2016 US presidential election, which saw Trump emerge as the winner.
