'Zelensky doesn't feel that the Americans are his allies at the negotiating table' - Simon Shuster

'He has to be careful. And I think he was, perhaps, more candid in describing his relations with President Trump than his advisers would have liked. For example, he expressed concern about one point that worries him: parallel to the peace negotiations, the Americans and Russians are negotiating business agreements. He told me that these discussions between the US and Russia involve possible business projects in the territories of Ukraine that Russia has occupied. And he said: 'Listen, this is not acceptable. At least, don't do this behind our backs.' This seriously worries him and shows the complexity of the American position. He doesn't feel that the Americans are his allies at the negotiating table. They are trying to act as mediators, but in business matters, it seems, they are inclined in favor of Russia.'

🇧🇾Lukashenko - believes that the capture of Maduro was a serious mistake:

We can advise many, many Russians on how to behave towards this crazy West, the main part of which is the United States of America. I also constantly tell them this. I honestly say where they are wrong. They are wrong with Maduro.

They did a stupid thing, I warned them. At the suggestion of the Americans, I was drawn into this problem. And I offered them an ideal option. An ideal option. But they went their own way.

Donald wanted to please the military somehow. So what did they do? You always have to think - you take a step, and then what? So what now? How can you pin the blame on Maduro for drug trafficking? What can you accuse him of? Well, prove that he led some kind of cartel. But the fact that the whole world trades in drugs, that's just the way it is.

And speaking of drugs, I also recently told the Americans, discussing with them, that the way Europe is behaving is a nightmare. They're supplying us with synthetic drugs, well, mostly to Russia, of course, through us. And we recently seized a whole carload, more than a ton, I think, of drugs. Couldn't this issue have been resolved? It could have. They staged some operation, arrested a person, so what? So what, they showed the whole world who's who. But the main thing is, what's next?
