Russia's Concerns Grow as Indictment of Trump Threatens Stability

Russia's position in Ukraine is primarily defensive, with no plausible military options for expanding its territory. The new indictment of former US President Donald Trump has weakened Russia's hopes of outlasting Ukraine. Russian media is reeling with the news of Trump's indictment, with state propagandist Vladimir Solovyov expressing disbelief. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggests that the charges against Trump are politically motivated and connected to his bid to return to the White House. Russian pundits fear that the indictment could lead to a breakdown in US-Russia communications and even an all-out war.
