The Rossiya Special Flight Squadron and its fleet of aircraft are responsible for transporting high-ranking Kremlin officials and the president.

Summary

A Russian presidential plane from the Kremlin’s Rossiya Special Flight Squadron visited New York and Washington, D.C., in late December, sparking speculation amid tense U.S.-Russia relations.

Moscow claimed the flight carried rotating diplomats, but its timing raises questions about Trump’s potential dealings with Vladimir Putin.

Trump has promised to end the Ukraine war in a day, alarming NATO officials who fear a deal that could harm Kyiv and alter NATO’s eastern border dynamics.

The flight highlights ongoing diplomatic maneuvering ahead of Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

    Neither side is sane.

    and:

    Ukraine is a pawn. Zelenskyy doesn’t matter at all.

    Let me just stop you there. I’m not interested in deep state qnon conspiracy theory lizard people arguments. These are literal Kremlin talking-points.

    Get the fuck out, Putin apologist. I have no room for entertaining MuH BoTh SideS bullshit.

      LMFAO I’m the furthest thing from qanon

      Victoria neuland under the Obama administration (and I believe subversively as in not necessarily Obama approved which would explain his actions after) orchestrated the maiden revolution which led to the overthrow of the pro Russian leader and the installment of a pro nato leader. When Russia went after crimea in the subsequent power vacuum Obama refused to get involved because he knew where it would lead to - eventual nuclear confrontation. And now we are here, even closer to nuclear confrontation.

      I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Russia decided to move under compromised and weak biden.

      If you don’t think putin, the unknown people standing in for biden, and trump who’s about to come into power are all insane and not to be trusted, I don’t know what the fuck to tell you.

      As for Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians, of course they have the right and duty to defend themselves from Russian aggression. When I say Zelenskyy doesn’t matter, it’s because Ukraine is a pawn full of valuable natural resources that the two major powers are fighting for influence over. How do you not see that!
