Russians revel in Trump's 'rebuke' of Zelensky

Hindustan Times  

Russians in Moscow welcomed Donald Trump's clash with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, expressing hope the US president's pivot towards the Kremlin might help end the Ukraine conflict. Russians revel in Trump's 'rebuke' of Zelensky "Frankly speaking, it was very pleasing that he got such a rebuke in the White House," said nursery worker Galina Tolstykh, referring to Trump and Vice President JD Vance's denigrations of Zelensky in the meeting. Trump openly berated Zelensky on Friday, accusing him of not being "thankful" for US military aid and of "not being ready for peace", later writing that the Ukrainian president had "disrespected" the United States in its "cherished Oval Office". "Europe is probably only beginning to recognise the situation it is in, in terms of medium, long-term prospects without the American umbrella," Russian political analyst Konstantin Kalachev told AFP.
