Gleeful Russia boasts Trump victory is bad news for Ukraine


Vladimir Putin’s ally Dmitry Medvedev has hailed Donald Trump’s US election victory.

Dmitry Medvedev, a senior security official, posted on his official Telegram account: “Trump has one useful quality for us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers–on and stupid hanger-on allies, on bad charity projects and on voracious international organisations.”

The Kremlin hopes that Trump will take a hard line on Ukraine and cut off military aid for the beleagured nation.

The Republican Presidential candidate has on numerous occassions boasted he will be able to stop the war within 24 hours.

Medvedev, however, suggested that vested interests in Washington may prevent Trump from fulfulling his promise.

“The question is how much Trump will be forced to give to the war.,” he said. “He’s stubborn, but the system is stronger.”
