Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov drooled at the comments by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump who showed scepticism over Kyiv’s use of Western missiles for strikes deep into Russian territory.

“The statement itself completely coincides with our position,” Peskov told reporters, adding that “it appeals to us…It is obvious that Trump understands exactly what is escalating the situation”.   The statement appears to reflect a rare instance of a rapport between Moscow and Washington on the ongoing conflict.

In his interview with Time that named his its ‘Person of the Year’, Trump said he disagrees ‘vehemently’ that Ukraine is using American-supplied missiles to attack deep inside Russia.

“Why are we doing that? We’re just escalating this war and making it worse. That should not have been allowed to be done,” said the US leader.

The Kremlin has repeatedly condemned Western military aid to Ukraine, framing it as a direct threat to Russia’s security and a factor prolonging the conflict. It appears that Trump’s latest statements seem to offer Moscow a sense of validation amidst heightened tensions with the West.
