Specialist Ireneu Teixeira stated that the Kremlin did everything for Donald Trump to be elected, suggesting coordination between Russia and the Republican candidate's campaign. The statements come in the context of the presidential elections in the United States.
Teixeira addressed the pressures exerted on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2019, which are at the origin of the impeachment process against Trump. According to the specialist, these pressures revealed the way Trump intended to deal with the Ukrainian issue.
The specialist accused Trump of aligning with Russian President Vladimir Putin's narrative regarding the invasion of Crimea. This position represents a break with the traditional posture of the United States regarding Ukrainian territorial sovereignty.
Teixeira also referred to Trump's criticisms of NATO, suggesting that these positions benefit Russian interests and weaken the Western alliance. The specialist considered that Trump's election would represent an unprecedented alignment with Moscow's foreign policy.
