"the country was in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. Signalling his rapprochement with Russia was over, the US president said: Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. Russia's war was making it look like a paper tiger with a failing economy, he said."
"On Wednesday, Peskov pushed back against Trump's paper tiger remark, insisting Russia was more of a bear. Though he conceded the economy, which is slowing after three years of rapid growth and with stubborn inflation, was facing some headwinds. He said it was wrong to think that Ukraine could recapture land taken by Moscow's army. The idea that Ukraine can recapture something is, from our point of view, mistaken, he said."
The Kremlin declared it has no alternative but to continue waging war and will press its offensive in Ukraine to secure interests for current and future generations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected US characterizations of Russia as a 'paper tiger' and insisted Russia is more of a bear. Peskov conceded the economy is slowing after rapid growth and faces stubborn inflation and headwinds. Peskov said it was wrong to think Ukraine could recapture land taken by Moscow and called attempts at US–Russia rapprochement largely fruitless. European concerns grew about potential spillover from the conflict.
