Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, meanwhile, heaped praise on Trump, applauding the U.S. president’s “common sense” and the “lively, human character” of MAGA politics, even though Russia and the U.S. did not see eye to eye on everything, Reuters reported.
Lavrov also accused Europeans, who have rallied around Zelenskyy, of seeking to prolong the war in Ukraine.
The comments come as European leaders are trying to mend a growing rift between Kyiv and Washington after a meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy in the White House spiraled into a tense row on Friday.
Peskov also hailed the U.S. decision to back a United Nations draft resolution that refrained from calling Russia the aggressor in the Ukraine war, calling it something that previously had been “impossible to imagine.”
