Donald Trump has become the center of attention in the Russian media, surpassing even Vladimir Putin in the number of mentions. His statements are becoming part of the Kremlin's propaganda, which uses them to support the narrative of Russia's "rightness" in the war and attempts to establish peace on the Kremlin's terms. The propaganda actively shapes the image of the United States, where Trump personifies a "right" American who can change the White House's policy in favor of Russia.At the same time, propagandists do not forget to turn Europe into a new enemy, replacing old narratives about "Anglo-Saxons" with new expressions that are offensive, such as European bureaucrats and British politicians.This article explored the main topics that dominated the Russian information space.

Now, in particular, they have resorted to the old trick of talking about the future as if it had already come, and predict the future failure of the Ukrainians. They also attribute the temporary success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the arrival of Western military equipment.
