普京现在也成为MAGA 党的成员了。 他在周二（刚刚）海参崴一个论坛上，1. 批评对川普的政治迫害； 2. 赞扬川普的乌克兰方案。
Vladimir Putin could barely contain his excitement Tuesday while discussing Donald Trump, telling a forum in Vladivostok that the criminal cases against the former president are “good” for Russia and that the Kremlin took delight in Trump’s claim he’d swiftly force an end to Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
“As for the persecution of Trump… for us, what is happening in these conditions, in my opinion, is good, because it shows the whole rottenness of the American political system, which cannot claim to teach others about democracy,” Putin said, echoing the former American president’s own oft-repeated claim that “what’s happening with Trump is a persecution of a political rival for political motives.”
While he said he doesn’t expect any major changes in Washington’s stance on Russia regardless of who wins the 2024 presidential election, he noted that the Kremlin was “glad” to hear of Trump’s plans for Ukraine: “We hear that Mr. Trump says he will resolve all burning issues within several days, including the Ukrainian crisis.”
Trump famously praised Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, calling it “pretty smart” to take over the country and expressing awe for how it was done.
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’” Trump said in a radio interview at the time. “Putin declares a big portion of Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’”
He’s also repeatedly said he—the self-proclaimed “apple of [Putin’s] eye”—would “end that war in one day” by forcing Ukraine to “make a deal.”
据《乌克兰真理报》12日报道，俄总统普京当天在符拉迪沃斯托克出席东方经济论坛时谈及美国亿万富翁、特斯拉创始人马斯克，称赞后者是一位“有才华的杰出人士”。

报道称，普京在讲话时说到，“说到埃隆·马斯克的私人企业……他绝对是一个杰出的人，这一点必须承认……我认为这是全世界公认的。他是一个活跃且有才华的商人。他正在做很多事情，特别是在美国政府的支持下。”
近来，马斯克及其旗下美国太空探索技术公司(SpaceX)的“星链”系统在乌克兰的使用，受到多方关注。据此前报道，美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）本月7日援引该国作家沃尔特·艾萨克森所撰写的一本关于马斯克的新书爆料称，马斯克去年曾秘密命令工程师关闭克里米亚海岸附近的“星链”互联网卫星通信系统，以阻止乌军暗袭俄罗斯舰队。
对此，马斯克就相关内容在其社交平台X（原推特）回复称，“有争议地区的‘星链’没有被激活。美国太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）没有关闭任何东西。”随后他进一步表示，俄乌双方应该同意停战。“每过一天，就有更多的乌克兰和俄罗斯年轻人死于获得的或失去的那一小块土地，（两国）边界几乎没有改变。这不值得他们付出生命。”
据“今日俄罗斯”（RT）报道，马斯克11日对“拒绝帮助乌克兰无人机袭击克里米亚的俄海军舰队”再次做出回应，他发文称自己只是美国公民，没有义务为基辅而战。
