A spokesperson for the Kremlin on Thursday said [Trump's] cancellation would free up time "for useful meetings."
[Oh my God. That is brilliant.]
Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev suggested that Trump may have delivered Russia a foreign policy victory. He cited the language the president used in his post on Twitter. "Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting," the president wrote.
Kosachev wrote that, because the ships are in Russia-occupied Ukraine, Trump's statement that the ships are in Russia "is nothing but a long-awaited recognition. This is already an alarming signal for Kiev, and not for Moscow."
