According to Fiona Hill, former White House adviser on Russia, Kremlin dictator and war criminal Vladimir Putin maintains contacts with former US President Donald Trump and plans to use him as his asset.
Putin has already made plans at Trump's expense
This is literally a trump card. Waiting for Trump to return is a boon for Putin. … He can play with it. He can use this as a kind of warning — to scare Ukrainians, Europeans, the rest of the world, the former adviser of the White House explains.
Fiona Hill is convinced that the Kremlin dictator is quite confident because he has some experience with Trump and expects that if he returns to the chair of the White House, he will quickly turn the situation with the war in Ukraine in favour of the Kremlin.
And, you know, obviously Putin has had Trump's number for a while now, he knows how to manipulate him. … He is very good at flattering Trump. He considers Trump an asset in many respects, the political scientist emphasizes.
What is known about Putin's hopes for Trump's victory in the US elections
In her opinion, currently, the Kremlin dictator feels able to end the criminal war against Ukraine for his benefit.
Hill emphasized that Russia would like the war in Ukraine to end, but on Putin's terms: without the return of territory, with the ability to put pressure on Ukraine in the long term and without reparations.
Putin is confident that he will be able to ignite the "cult of war" everywhere. ... Everything that Trump says about Europe and European security, about world and global affairs, about Ukraine, everything that happens on Capitol Hill — for Putin, this is just a sign that everything will quickly change in his favor again, the former adviser to the White House says.
