Russian Snipers Opinion Of Trump & His Ukraine War Peace plan
In This report I, journalist Patrick Lancaster, embedded with the Espanola brigade in the Russia-Ukraine war zone, Russian snipers offered their candid opinions on the recent U.S. presidential elections, Donald Trump’s victory, and his proposed peace plan for the ongoing Ukraine war. The report provides a rare perspective from soldiers actively engaged in the war, showcasing a mix of humor, pragmatism, and skepticism about Western politics.
"Trump is a Kremlin Agent": Humor?
One sniper, call sign "Yaryi," a deputy commander in the Espanola brigade, shared a tongue-in-cheek yet bold comment:
“Everybody knows Trump is a Kremlin agent! So we also voted for him!” he exclaimed with a laugh, suggesting that the brigade found Trump’s victory favorable. Though said humorously, it underscores a broader narrative of how Trump’s perceived approachability towards Russia is interpreted by those on the ground.
Another sniper, "Sever," emphasized their focus on the conflict itself, dismissing the significance of American politics:
“We have our own president and our own elections. We don’t care whom they vote for and what they do there.”
The Practical View: Politics vs. Combat
When asked about Trump’s promise to end the war, the soldiers remained cautiously optimistic but unconvinced. Sever remarked,
“They will decide this at the top—our president and theirs. We are warriors; we will keep fighting as long as it takes.”
Another soldier echoed this sentiment, adding that while leaders debate resolutions, the realities on the battlefield remain unchanged.
Historical and Geopolitical Reflections
One sniper offered a nuanced analysis of the war, describing it as a “natural historical process” born from competing national interests:
“America was pushing its interests, and we stood for ours. Conflicts like this are inevitable. They always have been, and they always will be.”
This perspective aligns with the broader Russian narrative that the war is a defensive effort to protect their homeland from external threats, such as what they perceive as rising nationalism and militarization in Ukraine.
Trump’s Peace Plan: Business Before Politics?
The soldiers expressed mixed views about Trump’s potential to de-escalate the war. One sniper highlighted Trump’s business mindset as a possible advantage:
“Trump is a businessman, not a politician. He understands the money of his country is in Ukraine. The best way forward is to bring that money back to Americans, not Ukrainians.”
While hopeful, many soldiers remained skeptical about whether Trump could or would deliver on his promises, as geopolitical realities often outweigh campaign rhetoric.
Lancaster’s Reporting: An Alternative Lens
Patrick Lancaster’s report is unique in its access and approach, giving a voice to those rarely heard in Western media. His work highlights the human element of the conflict, presenting not only the soldiers’ combat expertise but also their opinions on global politics, their sense of duty, and the ideological motivations behind their actions.
Lancaster’s concluding message calls for continued support for independent journalism:
“Like, share, and support our work. These stories need to be told, and it’s only possible with your help.”
