The Kremlin has expressed satisfaction with recent statements by US President Donald Trump, particularly regarding Russia's advantage on the battlefield in Ukraine and the impossibility of Ukraine's membership in NATO.

This was stated by Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to Censor.NET, citing AFP.

Peskov noted that Trump's statements were "very important" and generally coincided with the position of the Russian side.

"In many ways, on the issue of NATO membership, on the issue of territories, on the issue of how Ukraine is losing territories, this corresponds to our understanding," he told reporters.
