Vladimir Putin can afford to sit and see how events take place

Friday’s drama at the Oval office caused a rapid reaction of many world leaders.

But not Vladimir Putin. There has been no comments so far from the Kremlin leader.

On the other hand, you really don’t need to say anything. President Putin can afford to sit and see how events develop.

Donald Trump predicted that the public dispute with President Zelensky “was going to be a great television.”

There are little doubt that Vladimir Putin will have enjoyed the “show”, the dramatic show of Volodymyr Zelensky, leader of the president of the country, Putin, invaded, being rebuked by the president and vice president of the United States against the world’s media.

However, some Russian officials have commented on events in Washington.

In a publication on social networks, former President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy director of the Russian Security Council, wrote that President Zelensky had received “a slap at the Oval office.” He called the United States to stop military assistance to Ukraine.

How Moscow would appreciate that.

Writing in Telegram, the spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, praised Trump and JD Vance for her “miracle of restriction” by not hitting the president of Ukraine.

It is a sign of the New World in which it seems to be now that, although relations between the United States and Ukraine run the risk of implosion, the opposite is true for the ties between the United States and Russia.

In recent weeks, Trump and Putin have spoken on the phone and have pledged to work closely together; There is talk of a possible summit soon; The lower level Russia conversations of lower level to restore relationships and discuss potential economic cooperation have already begun.

President Putin has hung the carrot of lucrative joint projects with Americans involving rare earth minerals and aluminum production.

The implications of a collapse in relations between Ukraine and the United States are potentially very serious for kyiv, but very positive for Moscow.

If the flow of American weapons to Ukraine stopped, it would be much more difficult for the Ukrainians defending against the Russian forces that have invaded their country, even if Ukraine enjoys solidarity and a strong support of European leaders.

For some time, Moscow has believed that war in Ukraine has gone to Russia’s manner. The shouting party in the oval office will have consolidated that view.
