He former russian president and current vice president of the country’s Security Council, Dimitri Medvedevha once again praised the president-elect of the United States, donald trumpas a “pragmatic” leader whom he considers capable of putting an end to the war in Ukraine, unleashed more than a thousand days ago.
“We consider Trump a pragmatic person (…) It can put an end to the Ukrainian conflict, since Washington has all the tools to do so,” the Russian leader said during an interview with the Emirati television network Al Arabiya.
Putin and the Russian leaders around him keep good relations with Trump since the tycoon occupied the White House between 2016 and 2020. Now, with his return to the US Administration, it is estimated that he may reach an agreement between the parties in conflict.
Curiously, shortly before the elections in the United States on November 5, Medvedev said that the American businessman could become “the new Kennedy” if he was trying to end the war, although he warned that Trump was tired. “A tired Trump, repeating platitudes like ‘I’ll offer a deal’ and ‘I have a great relationship with…’ will also be forced to play by all the rules of the system. Won’t stop the war. Not in one day, not in three days, not in three months. And if he really tries, he could become the new JFK,” he said.
The war in ukraine It broke out more than a thousand days ago, when at the end of February 2022, Putin himself ordered the invasion of his neighboring country. Since then the conflict has progressed without a break, with the front lines practically stagnant, although with clashes also in Russian territory after the Ukrainian incursion on Kursk last August.
