Trump understands this is not a war between the US and Russia, it is a war between the US and EU. The US needs to cut all ties, economic and political, and allow the EU to fail, and disentigrate. The EU and the City of London is pure evil.

If the Ukrainians understand Russian, and the Russians understand Ukrainian, it seems unclear how different the languages can be.

It sounds like a meeting between English and Scots, in which the English talk English and the Scots Lallans. (Although the English might struggle a bit with that).
