Putin's concern seems conveniently timed to benefit his own strategic goals.

This is just posturing. Russia does nothing but talk tough.

Trump probably just agreed with whatever Putin said. Where's the real diplomacy?

Just more misinformation and propaganda from the Kremlin.

Putin's "condemnation" again? Predictable. He's always on the side of the aggressors.

I bet Trump didn't even understand half of what Putin said.
