A spokesperson for Russia's Kremlin praised President Donald Trump on Sunday for presenting a vision of the world that is "largely consistent" with Russia, according to a new report.
Dmitriy Peskov, the Kremlin's press secretary, said on Sunday that the "adjustments" Trump has made are praiseworthy, according to a report by Politico's European bureau, citing local Russian media. The comments come at a time when Russia and The U.S. continue to negotiate a peace settlement for the war in Ukraine.
""The adjustments we are seeing, I would say, are largely consistent with our vision, and perhaps we can hope that this could be a modest guarantee that we will be able to constructively continue our joint work on finding a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, at the very least," Peskov said, according to the report.
Trump has offered starkly different views of the war in Ukraine during his second administration. In February, he invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House, where he proceeded to accuse Ukraine of starting the war. The most recent peace plan Trump has offered for the war was sharply criticized by experts as heavily favoring Russian goals.
Peskov added that Trump has been successful at changing the U.S.'s foreign policy apparatus because he is "strong," according to the report.
