  • [Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov] says Vance wants to ‘stop pumping Ukraine full of weapons’
  • Foreign minister says Russia welcomes anyone ready for talks

Russia’s top diplomat signaled a preference for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and especially his running mate JD Vance, praising their vocal interest in cutting a deal to end the war in Ukraine.

Although the previous Trump administration imposed “more and more sanctions” on Russia, “at that time, dialogue was underway between us and Washington at the highest levels,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Wednesday. “Right now, there is no such dialogue.”

Trump is happy to gain the endorsement of the peace-loving nation that only wants what is best for America and also has shopping carts and fresh bread in their supermarkets.

It’s so thoughtful how they rescue those poor Ukrainian children from the war zone and give them safe homes in Russia. It’s totally not ethnic cleansing. Just good deeds.

Judging by his expression, he's apparently always just asking questions.

Reports: Trump Gave Classified Info To Russians During White House Visit

The Post, citing current and former U.S. officials, reported Monday evening that the information relayed by the president to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak "jeopardized a critical source of intelligence" on ISIS:

Sure. They want more classified intel. Which trump can’t wait to give them!

Fuck Putin and every one of his stooges. Start stocking up on vodka because Trump is going to lose.

[–] samus12345 9 points 5 months ago

Please be right.

Luckily, there’s some pretty great non-Russian vodka out there!

[–] Treczoks 29 points 5 months ago

Of course. Putin wants his field operative back in the White House, so he can "lose" more Top Secret papers to Russia.

It is absolutely WILD that the Republican Party has become so staunchly pro-Russia. A couple decades ago, none of them would be caught dead saying anything remotely charitable about Russia.

Pretty much all you need to know about Trumps Ukraine stance.

[–] Prior_Industry 5 points 5 months ago

He's so tough on them that they love him!

[–] Badeendje 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Russia should take an isolationist stance.

[–] FlyingSquid 12 points 5 months ago

That's their plan. A new Iron Curtain. They have to get all the former Soviet states back first is all.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I agree with JD Vance. I also want to "stop pumping Ukraine full of weapons." Especially Russian ones.

[–] xc2215x 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not shocking. They will be more pro Russia than the Democrats.

[–] rustyfish 7 points 5 months ago

Reminder that Lavrov is a disgusting piece of shit and nothing he says should be believed.
