Breaking: Kremlin Makes First Response to Trump's Remarks After His Meeting with Zelenskyy: "We Cannot Fully Agree With Everything the US President Said."
Yesterday, Trump called Russia a "paper tiger" of economic collapse, criticized countries that purchase its energy, and said Ukraine will reclaim all its territories.
Kremlin spokesperson Peskov added that the Kremlin hopes Trump's position is temporary:
He told the pro-Kremlin RBC radio: "Obviously, Mr. Trump heard Zelenskyy's view on the events, which is why he made this assessment."
The Kremlin's concerns are not baseless. Trump praised Zelenskyy's courage after the UN General Assembly.
Donald Trump said: "He is a brave person, and he is fighting a tough battle." This statement was posted on the White House official account.
Just a day earlier, the US president unexpectedly gave an optimistic assessment of Ukraine's chances of reclaiming its territories.
Comments: The Kremlin's response to Trump's remarks shows a cautious and predictive attitude. Peskov said "we cannot fully agree," which avoids direct conflict with the US while clearly expressing disagreement with Trump's remarks. After all, Russia has always emphasized its position and interests in the Ukraine-Russia conflict and will not easily accept the US's one-sided evaluation of the situation.
He expressed hope that Trump's position is temporary and pointed out that Trump made this assessment due to Zelenskyy's views, which actually weakens the seriousness of Trump's remarks, implying that his statements may be based on partial information or a momentary impulse rather than a comprehensive and objective analysis of the Ukraine-Russia situation. At the same time, it also reflects the Kremlin's concern about the uncertainty of the Trump administration's stance on the Ukraine issue, fearing that its strong statements could further escalate the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which would be detrimental to Russia's strategic goals.
