Russian State TV Celebrates Trump’s Russia Oil Plan: 'Always Liked Trump'
Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov celebrated the move on his Channel 1 show.
Russian state television anchor Vladimir Solovyov praised the agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to export Russian diesel fuel to the United States in exchange for reduced sanctions on Moscow. Solovyov, a loyal supporter of the Russian president, celebrated the phone call between the two leaders as a prime example of effective diplomacy that avoided excessive controversy.
However, he lamented the subsequent backlash from the international community, particularly Europe and Ukraine, as the "world exploded" with criticism.
Solovyov expressed his disdain for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that Trump directly thanked the Ukrainian leader for his support of the deal. The Russian state media personality then cut to a clip of Trump thanking Zelensky, acknowledging that he had always appreciated the former U.S. president's willingness to consider Trump's calculations.
Before moving on to another segment, Solovyov reiterated his longstanding admiration for Trump, adding that he believed "you had to calculate things with Trump" due to his unpredictable nature.
