Excerpt:
“Pavel Zarubin: Every day we hear many different statements from Trump. You have met with him more than once and you had a telephone conversation with him just recently. Do you think he is driven by his emotions?
Vladimir Putin: Of course not. Naturally, the current leader of the Kiev regime gives him plenty of reasons to express emotions. But based on what I have just said, a different picture emerges: his actions are not driven by emotions but rather by cold calculation and a rational assessment of the situation. It may sound strange but frankly, in this situation, we would be interested in him staying in power and continuing to weaken the regime with which we are involved in an armed conflict. However, if the goal is to strengthen Ukrainian statehood, then a different approach is needed – bringing to power those who have the trust of the Ukrainian people.”
