In an interview with "Suspilne," Timothy Snyder, a historian and professor at Yale University, stated that russia is aware it will lose without its influence in the West. He highlighted that russian propaganda focuses significantly on individuals they consider allies, such as Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, and Marine Le Pen. russia supports and promotes these figures in the West, who, in turn, inadvertently further russian interests.

Snyder clarified that he does not claim all these individuals are directly russian agents, but emphasized that russia relies heavily on Western domestic politics, particularly American politics, for its strategies. He suggested that until January 2025, when the next U.S. president will be inaugurated, russia will likely avoid serious discussions about peace.
