The Kremlin said Friday that US President-elect Donald Trump’s opposition to Ukraine firing US-supplied weapons deep into Russia “fully aligned” with Moscow’s position.

Axar.az reports that citing AFP, Trump had told Time Magazine: “I disagree very vehemently with sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russia. Why are we doing that? I think it’s a foolish decision.”

“The statement fully aligns with our position, with our view on the reasons for escalation. That impresses us. It is obvious that Trump understands exactly what is escalating the situation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

It worth noting that Trump’s interview was conducted before the November 27 Thanksgiving holiday and before his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral, a meeting brokered by French President Emmanuel Macron.
