A senior Russian official has indicated that Moscow is closely monitoring political signals from the United States. Yuri Ushakov, a key foreign policy advisor, commented that recent critical statements directed toward Russia by former President Donald Trump could represent a strategic approach to international diplomacy rather than genuine opposition.
Ushakov suggested that such strong rhetoric might be intended to establish a particular negotiating position with global counterparts. The remarks come amid ongoing analysis of how major powers position themselves ahead of potential diplomatic engagements.
