Giggling Putin Pals Celebrate Trump's 'Shocking' Ukraine Surrender

The Kremlin’s top propagandists could not stop laughing in the TV studios overnight.

The generosity of President Trump’s unprecedented Ukraine peace proposal has stunned and delighted the Kremlin’s premier propagandists. Instead of the supposed Art of the Deal, they are celebrating President Putin’s “art of the steal.”

On Wednesday, state TV show 60 Minutes broadcast the clips of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on repeat. The Russian networks are thrilled with their words, which carry an enormous propaganda value for the Kremlin. Writer Sergey Strokan marveled, “Who could have imagined this?” Beaming ear-to-ear, host Olga Skabeeva replied, “No one ever—they can’t believe it even now—if you’re talking about Donald Trump. It’s shocking, it really is. Completely incredible!”

Strokan added, “No one could have imagined we would live to see the day where the correct answer about to whom Crimea belongs to would come from the president of the United States, and he will not only give it, but will also teach the president of Ukraine what this correct answer is.” As he spoke, Skabeeva chuckled uncontrollably. Strokan asserted, “April 23, 2025 can be confidently written into textbooks on modern history as a special date. It changed many things.”

He explained that thanks to the current U.S. administration, the West no longer exists as a powerful force, with Transatlantic unity effectively over. Strokan noted, “Very soon, we will witness a rapprochement between Moscow and Washington.”

Military expert Igor Korotchenko predicted, “The United States may withdraw its entire military contingent from Europe and remove American tactical nuclear weapons from the European NATO bases. We will see a totally new political reality, when Europe will be left one-on-one with Russia.” He noted, “For the first time, we are on the same side of the barricades with the United States of America.”
