Z-Propaganda Prepares Russians For Problems In Relations With Trump

Russia has started talking about large-scale US aid to Ukraine.
After Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, Russian propaganda, which had previously convinced Russians that a Republican as head of state could allegedly be beneficial to Russia, suddenly changed its tone, finding a lot of downsides to his return to the White House. The We Can Explain channel drew attention to this.
For example, propagandist Yevgeny Popov expressed concerns in his Telegram channel that Trump could offer Russia "an obviously unfavorable deal on Ukraine" before January. If Moscow refuses, the Republican "in his usual manner" will announce an "unprecedented aid package" to Kyiv and lift all restrictions on the use of missiles supplied by the US, Popov worries.
Trump's first term did not bring Russia anything good, they said on Channel One. State Duma deputy Dmitry Novikov noted on the Vremya Pokazhet show: "Cynicism in US politics will only increase." Other Z-experts, against the backdrop of footage of Trump's September meeting with Zelensky, expressed concern about a possible escalation of the war in Ukraine after the Republican came to power, emphasizing his "excessive emotionality."
State Duma deputy Andrei Isayev noted on Rossiya 1 that neither Trump nor Harris are friends of Moscow. The Russia channel's correspondent in the US Valentin Bogdanov agreed with him, saying: "We have no illusions about US policy - (during Trump's last term in office) there were sanctions and much more."
Rossiya 24 expressed concern that the Joe Biden administration could "push through" a plan to provide Kyiv with new tranches of military aid by January. For example, provide long-range bombs and missiles or "raise Ukraine's NATO membership status," propagandists say, even though the Republican Party has taken full control of both houses of Congress.
Criticism and doubts about Trump's victory are heard not only on propaganda channels, but also from officials. Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said earlier that the United States, after Trump's return to the Oval Office, could "reconsider its approach to the war in Ukraine" and possibly help end it. At the same time, Peskov expressed doubts about whether this would be done and recalled that the United States is an "unfriendly" country for Russia.
