The Kremlin cannot win on the front, so it wants to win through diplomacy

Russian opposition figure Garry Kasparov believes only Trump can save Putin. Despite Moscow's official support for Trump, they are hesitant to discuss ending the war before the U.S. Congressional elections on November 3. The Kremlin wants to ascertain whether Trump will maintain power or if Democrats could hinder his pro-Russian policies. Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, criticized the current administration's approach to the Ukraine war as immoral and against American interests.
