The US President Donald Trump He described his Ukrainian counterpart Volodimir Zelenski “dictator”, even though he failed to win the elections in 2019. But the US president does not claim the same for the Russian president Vladimir Putinalthough Alexeni Navalny’s main opponent died in prison a few weeks before Putin won the distorted elections last year, Politico notes in his analysis.

In recent weeks, Trump and his team have also undermined NATO, supported far -right politicians in Europe and promised to hit the European Union by trade war for its “very unfair” treatment against the US. It is no wonder that a growing number of European officials and diplomats believes that the US president is really on the part of Russia.

But Trump’s world moves quickly and it is difficult to remember his statements and actions. So there is a summary of the 29 cases that Trump came to Putin’s side during the first month of his return to power.

1. Raise the phone: Nearly three years after Russia’s complete, full -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Trump decided that it was time to restore direct contact between US president and Putin, a leader facing US and US sanctions and EU, as well as a warrant for the arrest of the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity and genocide. Trump decided to pick up the phone on February 12 for a 90 -minute conversation.

2. He praised Putin as if he was worth a complete respect: “I would like to thank President Putin for his time and effort in relation to this phone call”said Trump then. “We both thought of the great history of our nations and the fact that we fought so successfully in World War II”he said. “We agreed to work together, very closely, including visits to each other’s country”.

3. He said he would “want” to see Russia back to the G7 (who would make it G8, but who counts): “I would love to have her back. I think it was wrong to throw them out »he told reporters at the Oval Office the day after the phone conversation with Putin. He had said the same thing in his first term. But that was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

4. Lets Putin keep many Ukrainian territories: Trump’s Minister of Defense, Pitt Hegsche, rejected Ukraine’s goal of recovering all the territories that Russia has occupied since 2014 as “unrealistic”. This statement hurt Ukraine’s position in any future negotiation. Hegschez also gave Putin exactly what he wanted by saying that Kiev will not even join NATO.

5. … followed by the statement that Russia is now holding “papers” in the negotiations: Trump himself then noted that Russia is now holding “papers” in the peace talks “because it has taken many territories”.

6. He retreated Putin’s desire not to have NATO mission in Ukraine: Hegsheth said that any NATO -serving troops serving in Ukraine will not be covered by the “Article 5” of the Alliance, which stipulates that the attack on a member is an attack on everything.

7. He excluded US troops sending to Ukraine: Hegsheth satisfied another wish of Putin.

8. She said to Europe, which is based on American protection since 1945, to take care of herself: Russia is worried about war with US troops that would prevent it from claiming its old empire. But it is not so worried about a war with Europeans.

9. He held unconditional conversations with Russia in Saudi Arabia: Trump gave Putin generous concessions about NATO and the Ukrainian territories held by Russia before the talks even begin. Could require a Russian ceasefire as a prerequisite for the first conversations between the top diplomats of both sides. He didn’t. In fact, it is obvious that there were no prerequisites at all.

10. Maybe there could be at least one … Zelenski’s team was excluded from talks with Russia: Kiev and his allies say that there should be no talks “about Ukraine without Ukraine”. It didn’t matter to it.

11. He left Europe on the sidelines: Brussels is constantly complaining that Europe is excluded from the peace process. America is not interested and Putin is in line with it.

12. He argued that Zelenski “started” the war: Obviously the Ukrainian president did not start the war. Russia has begun the war, but since then it has been trying to accuse Zelensk for him. Now it has made the White House claim the same.

13. He said Zelenski is incompetent: Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. It just happens to serve Russia’s purpose to undermine Zelenski’s legitimacy inside the country.

14. And all the moment he does not criticize Putin.

15. He argued that Putin is credible and wants peace: He may have forgotten all the times that Russia said he would not invade Ukraine.

16. He asked for elections in Ukraine: Russia likes elections in neighboring countries because it can interfere with them and is trying to establish a new government in Kiev before even from the start of the war. Trump says Zelenski has to call elections as soon as possible. The problem is that a war is taking place.

17. Withdrawn funding of the Election Observers and Cyber ​​Services: Only people who are enthusiasts of free and fair democracy do they like to attend the elections for interventions, with officials overseeing the electoral process. Putin doesn’t need them anyway.

18. He called Zelenski “dictator”.

19. Target future “investment” US-Russia agreements: This was the result of these talks in Riyadh. A leading Russian official told Politico that there is particular interest in joint energy projects in the Arctic.

20. He abandoned the Temocratic NGOs: The Kremlin has long complained that US -funded NGOs are fronts of intelligence services that incite “color revolutions” to former Soviet democracies, including the Maidan uprising in Ukraine in 2014. Trump’s team has now cut off all the funding in programs in favor of democracy in the context of its efforts to dismantle USAID.

21. Fighting Woke Agenda: To be fair, this is what Trump really wants and it is rather a mere coincidence that Putin seems to share similar views on issues such as transsexual rights.

22. She criticized Europe for her failures in immigration: Trump has said that Europe must be rebuilt to stop uncontrolled immigration. Jay Di Vance’s vice -president launched a crowded attack on Europe at the Munich Conference on Security last weekend. It is possible that all this has satisfied Putin.

23. Jay Di Vance supported Kalin Jorzescu in Romania: Indeed, the US Vice President was on the side of a candidate who won the first round of Romania’s presidential election last year after a suspicious hybrid Russian intervention and an extremely doubtful influence on social media. The Romanian Constitutional Court was so worried that it canceled the outcome of the elections.

24. Attack in Germany on the wall protection of the far -right: Jay Di Vance did not cheat his words. “If you run fearing your own voters, there is nothing that America can do for you”.

25. Support to the far -right AfD in the German elections: Trump’s best billionaire friend, Ilon Musk, openly supported the far -right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Alice Weidel’s candidate for Chancellor in the Sunday elections. According to polls, the AfD will record the best Post of its history. Many AfD supporters have friendly feelings to Moscow. The secret services have warned of a Russian campaign aimed at disturbing the elections.

26. Musk supported Nigel Faraj in Britain: Farage has a historical favorable statements for Putin (something his center opponents have used to attack him).

27. He attempted not to include the phrase “Russian attack” in a G7 announcement on Ukraine.

28. Won the presidential election: Okay, this was initially in the interest of Trump himself. But the Kremlin is definitely happy that Trump won Kamala Harris.

29. Constitution modification for a third term in White House: Trump has implied that he would not be so disturbed if his country’s constitution was modified to let him remain for a third term in office. Putin has already done this in Russia.
