Russia's Diplomatic Dance: Lavrov Lauds Trump, Criticizes Europe

In a recent statement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov praised former U.S. President Donald Trump for his "pragmatic" approach to ending the Ukraine conflict.

The remarks come amidst ongoing tensions between Russia and the West, with the Ukraine war remaining a focal point of international diplomacy. Lavrov's comments underscore Russia's strategic narrative, positioning itself as a counterbalance to what it perceives as Western decadence and aggression.
