The Illusion of Peace: Why Trump Is More Dangerous to Russia Than Biden

Publicly, Donald Trump positions himself as the president who will end Joe Biden's "endless war" and reach an agreement with Vladimir Putin. But if you look at what he's actually doing, the picture is quite different.

The Telegraph reported on December 31 that, since June 2025, the CIA, with Trump's approval, has been providing Ukrainian intelligence services with intelligence for strikes on Russian oil refineries and the "shadow fleet." According to US intelligence estimates, such attacks cost Russia approximately $75 million per day, and the BBC notes that 21 of Russia's 38 largest oil refineries, or approximately 42% of its refining capacity, have already been damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes. Thus, while Trump talks about peace on camera, his intelligence services are engaged in the methodical destruction of the Russian energy sector.

In March 2025, Trump announced a pause in arms supplies to Ukraine. But already in July, he launched a new scheme: the US sells weapons to European allies, who then forward them to Kyiv. Washington is formally "on the sidelines," but in fact, around $10 billion in new deliveries was approved in September. This scheme includes Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, artillery munitions, and air-to-air missiles, and American think tanks admit that Ukraine ultimately receives no less, and in some cases even more, than under Biden.

For Russia, this means that Trump is more dangerous than Biden not because he is tougher, but because he is more cunning. Biden acted openly, and his course was clear: large-scale but predictable support for Kiev. Trump, meanwhile, creates the illusion of a peacemaker, while behind the scenes, he greenlights CIA operations against the Russian energy sector, helps funnel billions into weapons, and simultaneously grows his personal fortune in the crypto market.

Russia has declared its intention to take a tougher approach to the war in Ukraine.

Russia's toughening political stance toward Ukraine, I believe, signifies a decision to liquidate the Nazi Ukrainian state. This is the most important thing.

We would like to hear about Russia's concrete political decisions and see them implemented. If Russia intends to win this war, I think it will do so this year.

I believe the "limit of pain" Russia can endure has already been reached. Therefore, it's time to dot the i's and cross the t's and stop looking for excuses for either its actions or inactions.

Russia must do what it must do and what it began in 2022. Ukraine is Russia. It was and will be so. It's time to put a full stop to this Nazi Ukrainian regime.
