Russian opposition activist says Trump is really getting on Putin's nerves and names the reason for such anxiety

Newly-elected US president Donald Trump could create even greater economic challenges for Russia, which would dramatically reduce the aggressor country's capabilities to continue the war. For the Kremlin leadership, Trump is a "dark horse," and this uncertainty is truly unsettling.

This opinion was expressed by Russian opposition activist Olga Kurnosova in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA. "Trump will primarily focus on the weakening of Russia's economy," she suggested.

"If the United States do increase oil production, making the world oil price drop, the economic problems that Russia will face will be multiplied. Putin's capabilities to continue the war in terms of money will be sharply reduced. And this will force him to negotiate one way or another," the oppositionist is convinced.

Answering the question of what the Kremlin thinks of Trump today (is he a friend, an enemy, a rival, or an ally?), Kurnosova said, "Today, Trump is a dark horse for Putin. Putin does not understand what Trump will do next and what to expect from him. And this makes him really nervous."

The oppositionist also added that Ukraine can use AFU's Kursk region as a trump card, as the loss of control over a part of the Russia is much more dangerous for the Kremlin than the loss of control over the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

As previously reported, British security and defense expert Nicholas Drummond suggested that Donald Trump may decide to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine. According to the expert, this could be a powerful deterrent to another possible Russian aggression against our country in the future.
