This group, encompassing top decision-makers in politics, economics, and the military, viewed the victory as a significant ideological shift.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Alexander Dugin, a well-known nationalist thinker advocating for Russia&#8217;s expansionist policies, celebrated the win by saying, \u201cWe have won,\u201d and claimed on X that \u201cthe world will be never ever like before,\u201d while asserting that \u201cglobalists have lost their final combat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Konstantin Kosachev, deputy speaker of Russia&#8217;s upper house of parliament, said on Telegram that the success of right-wing factions in the \u201cfree world\u201d marks a setback for dominant left-liberal forces. He also commented that Europe openly backed Kamala Harris, seeing her as a continuation of policies linked to <a class=\"manualbacklink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/topic\/barack-obama\" rel=\"noopener\">Obama<\/a> and Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Russian Orthodox billionaire Konstantin Malofeyev, who funds conservative causes in the West, said on Telegram that Trump&#8217;s election could pave the way for talks on dividing Europe and potentially the world, especially following \u201cvictory on the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Leonid Slutsky, head of the Russian parliament\u2019s foreign affairs committee, predicted a notable impact on the Ukraine conflict, citing Trump\u2019s pre-election rhetoric. He noted that Republicans likely would not support continuing extensive American financial aid for Ukraine, which he argued would expedite the collapse of President Zelensky&#8217;s government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Some in Russia\u2019s leadership remained cautious. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov highlighted that while Trump\u2019s campaign expressed a desire to end support for Ukraine, Russia would wait to see if this rhetoric turned into actual policy. He reaffirmed that the US is still considered an \u201cunfriendly country\u201d by Russia, given its involvement in conflicts against Russian interests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Russian legislator Maria Butina, who previously served prison time in the US for acting as an unregistered foreign agent, viewed Trump\u2019s win as a \u201cgood chance\u201d to improve bilateral ties. She hoped that Trump would follow through on promises to act as a \u201cpeacemaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Within Russia\u2019s business circles, there was a cautious optimism that Trump\u2019s victory could bring positive changes, particularly with regard to easing sanctions. Many in the business sector viewed Trump\u2019s approach as potentially helpful in reaching solutions quickly and ending the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Prior to the election, Russian officials publicly downplayed their interest in the US vote. However, US authorities observed that Russian-led disinformation efforts aimed at disrupting the election were, in fact, intensifying, particularly in targeting Kamala Harris. These efforts reflected earlier Russian strategies aimed at nurturing isolationist sentiments, according to <i>The Washington Post<\/i> report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Eric Ciaramella from the Carnegie Endowment said that, compared to the decisive 2016 interference, Russian involvement in the 2024 election was marginal. Nevertheless, analysts highlighted that Russia\u2019s extensive propaganda efforts over the past decade, particularly through social media, have successfully shifted mainstream US political discourse in favour of anti-establishment and isolationist ideas that would have been less accessible through traditional media alone.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/world-news\/donald-trumps-comeback-sparks-russian-hopes-to-weaken-western-unity-on-ukraine-report-101731045393240.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his first comments after Donald Trump&#8217;s election as the 47th President of the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday the West&#8217;s post-Cold War control over global &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=123553\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=123553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123553\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=123553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=123553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=123553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
