Just in: “You Showed Restraint By Not Hitting ‘scumbag’ Zelenskyy – Russia Hails Trump – Foreign Affairs”…Read more..

Russia has hailed President Donald Trump of the United States of America after his meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine in Washington on Friday.

Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova said Trump showed “restraint” by not hitting Zelensky during their shouting match in the White House.

“I think Zelensky’s biggest lie of all his lies was his assertion in the White House that the Kyiv regime in 2022 was alone, without support,” she wrote on Telegram.

“How Trump and Vance held back from hitting that scumbag is a miracle of restraint,” she said.

Also on the visit, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is now deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, described Zelensky as “insolent pig” who had received “a proper slap down in the Oval Office”.

Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, called the heated confrontation between Trump and Zelensky “historic”.

Dmitriev was one of Moscow’s negotiators in the Russian-American talks held on February 18 in Saudi Arabia — the first since Russia began its Ukraine offensive in 2022.

Zelenskyy met Trump in Washington on Friday to discuss issues surrounding the peace deal that would bring the war between Ukraine and Russia to an end.

Zelenskyy had on multiple occasions accused Trump of backing Russia and trying to do the biddings of President Vladimir Putin.

Recall that Trump had once described Zelenskyy as a dictator and did not evolve him in the peace talk meeting in Saudi Arabia earlier last month.

Ukrainian leader, Zelenskyy, has however, insisted that the war must not end on Russia’s terms and conditions.
