For Putin, it didn't matter if Trump would become president of the United States or just a presidential candidate. He prayed because they were friends.

A special envoy of the US President believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is very intelligent like every former KGB officer. “Putin is very wise,” said Wittkoff. “Only the most intelligent people in the country joined the KGB. He is super -intellectual, okay? If you don't want to admit it to him, it's all right. But I admit it to him” – quotes Witkoffa Agencja Tass.

Transfer of independent media

Not only propaganda, but also independent Russian -language media inform Putin about “prayer”, but their message is different. Writing about the fact that Vladimir Putin prayed for Trump, the word “his friend” give in quotation marks.

“Vladimir Putin knows that flattery is acting – especially on a person like Donald Trump. And uses an impressive arsenal” – he reacted to Witkoff's words about Putin in the post on Platforma X Sweden Carl Bildt.

Ukrainian portals also write about Putin's prayer. However, they focus on something else. They emphasize that, according to Witkoff in Ukraine, the presidential election should take place and that according to envoy Trump, the biggest problem when it comes to the end of the war started by Russia against Ukraine is Crimea and “the so -called four regions: Donetsk, Lugansk and two more (Cherry and Zaporoski, formally, formally, unlawful by international law, annexed by Russia)” and readiness to be considered Russian. territories.

In February this year, the President of Ukraine Wołodymyr Zelanski He accused Trump of repeating “Russian disinformation”, which has long claims that the Ukrainian leader supports only four percent of his countrymen.

Since its presidency, Donald Trump has repeatedly reproduced the Kremlin's propaganda.
