**Russia Praises Trump’s Foreign Policy Shift**
The Kremlin has welcomed what it sees as a shift in US foreign policy, saying it aligns with its own vision. This comes after a public dispute between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russian officials are claiming that the new administration is changing US foreign policy to match Russia’s goals. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: “The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also praised Trump, calling him a pragmatist and saying his approach could be successful if maintained.
**US Voted Against UN Resolution**
Meanwhile, the US voted alongside Russia against a UN resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This has led to criticism from Ukraine and other countries that support it.
The UK, France, Ukraine, and possibly other countries are planning to develop a ceasefire plan to present to the US.
**International Reaction**
Other international leaders have spoken out against Trump’s comments. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is attending a European defense summit in London to discuss peace efforts in Ukraine.
Canadian officials have expressed concern about Trump’s approach to Ukraine. Prime Minister Trudeau said: “We stand with Ukraine for as long as it may take.”
Ukrainians and foreign donors have sent over $649,000 to a fundraiser set up after the White House clash between Zelensky and Trump.
**NATO and UN Response**
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has called on President Zelensky to restore his relationship with US leaders. NATO was founded by the US and other World War II victors to promote diplomacy and cooperation.
The UN has also condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
