President Donald Trump’s decision to pause aid to Ukraine prompted immediate jubilation in Russia.
During his morning radio show Full Contact on Tuesday, top state TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov triumphantly announced, “The masks are off! We now see that Europe is behind this war... This is the center of liberal democracy.”
“They are totally Satanic!” he added while describing Trump as Russia’s “situational ally.”

In an Orwellian reversal, Solovyov asserted that Russia never had any issues with America, attempting to erase years of previous proclamations that Russia was always at war with the U.S., the war in Ukraine was actually a confrontation between Russia and the United States, that America has been waging war against Russia since 1945, and the Cold War never ended.
While the U.S. was always named Russia’s archnemesis, “Trumpushka”—as Solovyov affectionately refers to the MAGA leader—was consistently claimed as Russia’s own.
State TV experts continually explained that during Trump’s first term, his desire to bond with Putin was constrained by his hawkish team. They asserted that once Trump is re-elected, he would finally come through and fulfill Moscow’s dreams—by cutting off aid to Ukraine, destroying relations with allies, disrupting internal workings of the U.S. government, lifting Russian sanctions, and even withdrawing America from NATO. The only thing that is surprising Putin’s mouthpieces is the speed with which the American president is fulfilling Russia’s dreams.
Solovyov noted, “I will watch Trump going to war with Europe—it will give me great pleasure. Here is how it will go: the annexation of Greenland, the disintegration of NATO, the destruction of the European Union that Trump will no longer recognize, and the economic war between America and Europe.”
Moscow’s predictions that, in his second term, Trump would be “unchained” and pay off like a slot machine are rapidly coming to fruition.
Russian lawmakers anticipated and accurately predicted the breakdown in relations between the Trump administration and the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. At the same time, the Kremlin fully expected Trump’s embrace of the Russian leader, whom he showered with unreciprocated concessions. Both Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov and his top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov admitted a remarkable alignment of their views with those of the current occupants of the Oval Office.
Directly contradicting a claim by Vice President JD Vance that Ukraine was running out of men, Solovyov expressed his concern about Ukrainian troops outnumbering Russia’s Armed Forces. He urged the Kremlin to increase the numbers of Russian troops, now that the U.S. aid is stopped, and Russia has a chance to take all of Ukraine.
Solovyov brought up the $100 billion U.S. investment by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., enviously pondering why Russia hasn’t created similar opportunities for foreign industries. He even envisioned a future economic and even military alliance between Russia and Trump’s America.
Solovyov triumphantly exclaimed, “I don’t rule out that with respect to the aid to Ukraine that was frozen, Trump will say, ‘Why don’t we enter into a military-technical cooperation with Russia? Here is who the real enemies of America are: the Satanic Europe and the European Union.’ Trump already hinted about this yesterday.”
Solovyov predicted, “Trump will say, ‘I have nothing against Russia. The liberal democratic b-----ds have maligned Russia the same way they’ve maligned me... Russia says that it wants to return the lands that were taken by the Ukro-Nazis, and I’m saying the same thing. I need Greenland, because it suits our national interests. What’s the problem? The inviolability of borders? Are you joking?’”
He added, “Trump will say, ‘I don’t care if the Russians are in Odesa, Kharkiv, Kyiv or Mykolaiv. What do I care? All I need is for the Panama Canal to be American, and for Greenland and Canada to join the U.S.'
“This is how this fairytale may end,” Solovyov surmised. “In reality, Russia and America have no conflicts.”
