Washington now ‘largely aligns’ with Moscow’s vision, Kremlin says Tension between the United States and Ukraine, laid bare in the Oval Office meeting of Trump and Zelensky, is seen in Moscow as a “gift.”

I imagine they'll be translating President Trump's speech into Russian which shouldn't be hard because that was the language it was drafted in.
