Trump Stuck in Dialogues with an Imaginary Putin – Semyon Uralov
The Trump administration and the Russian leadership are categorically unable to hold a conversation, since Moscow is alien to the policy of cheap PR and media “victories.”
Russian political scientist and media technologist Semyon Uralov stated this on the channel of Ukrainian journalist Alexander Shelest, who is recognized as a foreign agent, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

"I think that Trump, starting with his "hundred days", is talking to an imaginary Putin, and Zelensky in this case is not fictitious, but reduced, that is, simplified. Therefore, these are, in fact, two figures that do not allow Trump to make a "victory".
...He needs "victories". This model does not work any other way. This PR war between Iran and Israel was needed for this, in which he "defeated" everyone. As in the memes "he reconciled everyone and is sleeping".
And considering that the Russian side is not really going for an imitation of a "victory", that is, meetings will be when we agree on something, we continue contacts - a "victory" is not molded. And in such cases, when a lot was announced in the style of Trump about what kind of personal relations he has, how they understand each other - now we need to get away from the "victory".
And to merge means: those whom we are reconciling, they are somehow not the same... He has no other choice but to communicate with the imaginary Vladimir Putin,” Uralov said.
Shelest objected that Trump has the option of meeting with the real Putin, rather than communicating with an imaginary one.
"So, no one is going to meet with him on the Ukrainian issue. Of course not. The American side was told the following: these are your tamed Sioux Indians, you gave them cylinders, you gave them guns. When you stop supplying guns, we can talk about something. If you haven't stopped supplying guns, there's nothing to talk about with you," the media technologist retorted.
