Russian state media and allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated a recent meeting between US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Russian Deputy head of Security Council Dmitry Medvedev criticized the meeting, stating that Trump had given Ukraine a “strong slap on the wrist” for their actions. Medvedev called for an end to military aid to Ukraine, referring to them as a “Nazi machine.”
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also criticized Zelensky, stating that it was a “miracle” that Trump and Vance did not physically harm him during the meeting. She accused Zelensky of lying about Ukraine being isolated and without support in 2022.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has close ties to Russia, praised Trump for standing up for peace during the meeting. Orban commended Trump for his bravery, even though some may have found his actions difficult to accept.
The reactions from Russian state media and Putin’s allies suggest that they view the meeting as a victory for their stance on Ukraine and a slight to Zelensky. The criticism and calls for an end to military aid indicate a desire for a change in US-Ukraine relations, with a focus on peace and cooperation from the Russian perspective.
