Former president and Putin ally Dmitry Medvedev more recently hailed Trump for blaming the war on Zelensky, although he cast doubt on whether the Republican would change the position of the United States.'It's clear that Trump is Russia's preference, no matter what they say,' the Russian political expert Konstantin Kalachov said.'Trump clearly wants to negotiate and there is no love between him and Zelensky,' he said.
