Russian propaganda is changing as well as America
It is a sign of these extraordinary times that even the old propagandists of the Kremlin try to change their rhetoric. In the state-controlled Russian media, derogatory terms such as "the collective vest" and "Anglo-Saxons"-a hobby diplomatic expression for the states led by the USA-were left quietly. Instead, only "the old world" of Europe is criticized without its US partner.
new geopolitical narrative
In his most viewed news program, Dmitry Kisylov, a prominent mouthpiece of the state, who once bragged that Russia could transform the united states Troika "that dominates the world: China , Russia and the USA. "Now the European War Party wants to further escalate the Ukrainian conflict," says Kisylov to its millions of spectators in Russia.
The influence of the large troika
"If we simplify it, everything is now decided by the great troika - Russia, China and the USA - that will form the new structure of the world. The European Union as a political unity no longer exists," he adds. It is a dark vision that is already taking place on the battlefields of Ukraine, where the Trump administration, which is on the basis of ending bloodshed, is increasingly putting pressure on the competitive Kiev.
Trump's concessions to the Kremlin
The concern of the western allies has made US President Donald Trump breathtaking concessions to the Kremlin, most recently by the Military help of the USA for Ukraine -much to the delight of the Kremlin. Trump has also rejected the idea of a future NATO membership for the country, which has been fighting, rejected a comprehensive Russian invasion since February 2022.
a controversial diplomatic path
By unilaterally starting negotiations with Russia across Ukraine and Europe's minds, he has initiated a controversial process to get Moscow out of the diplomatic offside and to sow disagreement among Washington's traditional allies. Both are long -term goals of the Kremlin. Trumps public humiliation of the Ukrainian president Selenskyj Many Russians how profound the US change was.
contradictions in reporting
Occasionally, the media landscape controlled by Kremlin had difficulty conveying the shocking events. "On the one hand, Trump talks about peace, and politicians in his vicinity express their interest in the success of Ukraine," Igor Naymushin, a reporter for the Russian state media. "On the other hand, it looks like Washington as if he would give Russia all the cards and tools to successfully continue the special military operation and to achieve success directly on the battlefield," added Naymushin, using common euphemism in Russia for the actions in Ukraine.
The dangerous rhetoric of the government
In Russia, the strongly controlled media landscape reflects the mood of the Kremlin, as well as the words of Russian officials who now emphasize the US European differences and at the same time question the historical heir in Washington. "I don't want to be anti-European," said Sergey Lawrow, the experienced Russian Foreign Minister. "However, all tragedies in the world come from Europe or thanks to European politics: colonization, wars, crusaders, the Crimea, Napoleon, the First World War, Adolf Hitler. When we look at the story in retrospect, the Americans did not play a provocative or even stirring role," he insisted in an interview that was published on the official website of the Foreign Ministry.
The question of the concessions
In addition to the flattery, it is difficult to see what the United States received from Russia in return for the geopolitical swivel. Behind closed doors could have attracted interest in the US-Russian economic cooperation contracts in the discussion. Such agreements are Putin's “cryptonite” for a transactional Trump, as a Russian commentator put it. "Trump is like Superman, and our President (Putin) found his weakness," said Nikita Danyuk, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, to a Russian State Channel.The influence of the Trump administration
"As soon as Trump hears 'rare earths', it does not matter whether these metals are present or not. He forgets everything and is ready to accept every condition. It is really a great championship game by our president," said Danyuk. Other Pro-Kremlin personalities, such as Olga Skabaeva, a moderator of state television, also emphasize the freedom that the Trump administration Moscow apparently granted.
The change of the propagandists
After a high -ranking Ukrainian official, Andrey Yermak, had called on social media that Russia should quit the "daily shelling of the Ukraine", Skabaeva replied: "Yermak woke up this morning and thought that he was Trump ..." But he forgot that Trump does not set any conditions for Russia and Putin. The Ukraine. " No wonder that the propagandists of the Kremlin endeavor to put the United States in a positive light. You have changed your course. But America has also changed.
